Clinical Trial Summary

It was designed as a randomized controlled prospective. After 2 weeks of splint follow-up, the splints of the patients who were operated due to distal radius fracture and volar plate were applied will be removed and included in the physical therapy program. The measurements and scores of the patients at the time of removal of the splint will be recorded. Patients' non-injured contralateral extremity data will also be recorded. The dominant party will be registered. Preoperative fracture classification of the patients, reduction parameters after surgery, waiting time for post-fracture surgery, pre-fracture chronic diseases, cognitive disorders, psychiatric disease histories, whether the patients lived alone at home or not will be recorded. Patients will be randomized with the help of a free computer aided numerator. The patients will be divided into two groups and conventional face-to-face rehabilitation will be applied to one group, and the previously planned tele-rehabilitation program will be applied to the other group.

The measurements and scores of the patients at the time of removal of the splint will be recorded. Patients' non-injured contralateral extremity data will also be recorded. The dominant party will be registered. Preoperative fracture classification of the patients, reduction parameters after surgery, waiting time for post-fracture surgery, pre-fracture chronic diseases, cognitive disorders, psychiatric disease histories, whether the patients lived alone at home or not will be recorded. Patients will be randomized with the help of a free computer aided numerator. The patients will be divided into two groups and conventional face-to-face rehabilitation will be applied to one group, and the previously planned tele-rehabilitation program will be applied to the other group. Videos of the exercises they will do via whatsapp will be sent to the telerehabilitation group. Again, in telerehabilitation, whatapp application will be made in the form of videoconference. Rehabilitation program will be applied to the patients 4 times a week for 6 weeks. Rehabilitation will be applied to the groups by the same person. At the end of the rehabilitation program, the first measurements of the patients will be taken. The third measurement of the patients will be taken at the 3rd month after the surgery. Among the parameters to be checked, grip strength, wrist range of motion, Shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) questionnaire, VAS scale will be used. Solid side values will be recorded. Tele-rehabilitation satisfaction survey will be applied in the 3rd month controls of the patients.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Wrist joint range of motion Wrist joint range of motion (ROM) measurement with goniometer is the most commonly used method that provides objective evaluation and error-free measurement in clinical practice. In our study, wrist ROM measurements will be made with a goniometer using the neutral zero method. This method is a painless and non-invasive measurement method. 0 day

In our study, wrist ROM measurements will be made with a goniometer using the neutral zero method. This method is a painless and non-invasive measurement method.Likert scale. Patients are asked to indicate the level of pain, with 0 points as no pain, 5 points as moderate pain, and 10 points as unbearable pain. Increased scores indicate higher pain level. 12 th week
Primary Environmental Measurement Environmental Measurement; Both hands and wrists of the patient will be measured with the figure of eight method with the help of a tape measure. The cm difference between both upper extremities will be recorded. 0 day
