Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of early manual therapy on function, pain, range of motion (ROM), hand and pinch grip strength and disability level in patients underwent volar plating after distal radius fracture (DRF). Patients were randomly divided into two groups: Routin Physiotherapy (RP) or Early Manual Therapy (EMT). While RP group received routine physiotherapy, EMT group received routine physiotherapy plus Mulligan's Mobilization With Movement technique. All treatments were done two sessions a week, through 12 weeks. Function, pain, range of motion (ROM), hand and pinch grip strength and disability level of patients were assessed. Measurements were made at postoperative week 3, 6 and 12.
