The relationship between adherence to hand therapy and short-term outcome after distal radius fracture

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between adherence to hand therapy and short-term outcome after fracture of the distal radius. Attendance at hand therapy appointments, therapist-rated adherence during appointments, and home-exercise diaries were used to monitor adherence in 15 people undertaking rehabilitation after a wrist fracture. Outcome measures were change in impairment (wrist extension, grip strength, and pain rating) and change in activity (modified Levine questionnaire, Jebsen Test of Hand Function) from initial assessment (after cast removal) to follow-up (six weeks later). Multiple regression analysis found over 50% of variance in wrist extension change, Levine questionnaire change, and change on the simulated feeding item of the Jebsen Test of Hand Function to be predicted by adherence. Home exercise adherence was the most important predictor of the adherence measures. These results highlight the importance of adherence to home exercises prescribed by a hand therapist after fracture of the distal radius.

  • The association between the number of logins and outcomes in e-therapies targeting physical health is similar to the positive relationship observed between session attendance and outcome in physical rehabilitation and to the dose-response curve seen in medication therapy.

    “The association between the number of logins and outcomes in e-therapies targeting physical health is similar to the positive relationship observed between session attendance and outcome in physical rehabilitation [67-70] and to the dose–response curve seen in medication therapy.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
