Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized clinical trial of two parallel arms, aiming to compare two rehabilitation interventions: an experimental intervention including telemedicine support and remote monitoring of compliance of usual indicated exercises, versus the usual protocol of indicated exercises supported by printed material (triptych) and without remote monitoring

Description:

Distal radius fracture is a common pathology. The surgical indication is given by the difficulty in obtaining fracture reduction or by the instability of the fracture. The long-term functional prognosis of the wrist depends largely on patients' adherence to the prescribed indications/exercises in the immediate postoperative phase. This is a randomized clinical trial of two parallel arms, aiming to compare two rehabilitation interventions: an experimental intervention including telemedicine support and remote monitoring of compliance of usual indicated exercises, versus the usual protocol of indicated exercises supported by printed material (triptych) and without remote monitoring.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change of Patient Related Wrist Evaluation score from Day 28 at Day 56 post ranndomization	Patient Related Wrist Evaluation is a 15-item validated scale, range from 0 to 100, where higher scores are worse outcomes	Day 56
Primary	Adherence to prescribed excercise program	The digital pad will objectively register adherence to exercises; the control group will self-report their compliance rates with the prescribed exercises	Day 56
Secondary	Grip strength	Grip strength measured by dynamometer	Day 28; Day 56
Secondary	Wrist flexion and extension	Wrist flexion and extension measured by goniometer	Day 28; Day 56
