About this trial

This randomized controlled trial examines the effectiveness of sensory training in patients undergoing rehabilitation for distal radius fractures. Forty-four participants (aged 18-65, with no prior upper extremity injuries) will be randomly assigned to a control group (conventional physiotherapy) or an experimental group (conventional physiotherapy plus sensory training, including desensitization and proprioception exercises). Assessments will be conducted at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks using grip strength, sensory function, fine motor skills, pain level, and functional capacity measures. The study aims to compare the impact of sensory training versus conventional physiotherapy on pain reduction, sensory recovery, grip strength, and functional hand use.
