The aim of physiotherapy intervention after the period of immobilization for patients with distal radius fractures is to regain range of motion, strength, and activity using modalities such as exercise, soft tissue techniques, passive mobilization, electrotherapy, splinting, and interventions to control swelling.
(Cifaldi Collins 1993, Laseter and Carter 1996, Reiss 1995, Weinstock 1999)
An exercise program and the use of heat/cold modalities were the most frequent interventions
provided by therapists for this patient group.
