This study is looking at whether adding "sensorimotor activities" to regular hand therapy helps people recover better after having surgery for a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) that used a volar plate. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, understand English, and had this type of wrist surgery. The study wants to see if these extra activities improve how well you can sense your joint position. We don't know yet if the study is actively enrolling participants. The goal is to enroll 50 people to compare the outcomes of those who receive standard therapy plus sensorimotor activities versus those who receive standard therapy alone.

Study design

This is an interventional study where participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one receiving sensorimotor intervention plus routine therapy, and the other receiving routine therapy only. Participants will be unaware of which group they are in. The study plans to enroll 50 participants.

What's involved

You would attend skilled occupational therapy visits at least once a week. Data collection will occur at 3 and 6 weeks after starting therapy, including measurements of joint position sense, function, pain, and range of motion.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your progress will be measured at 3 and 6 weeks after starting therapy.
