The Investigation of Kinesiophobia in Conservative Distal Radius Fractures

Investigation of the Predictability of Kinesiophobia on Functional Outcomes in Conservatively Treated Distal Radius Fractures

This study aimed to investigate the predictability of kinesiophobia on functional outcomes in conservatively treated patients with distal radius fractures. For this purpose, patients' level of kinesiophobia will be assessed using the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale. To assess the functional status of patients, joint range of motion and upper extremity weight bearing measurements will be performed. Patients' functionality will be additionally assessed with the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation Questionnaire.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Having been treated conservatively with an isolated distal radius fracture diagnosis,
• Having a cognitive level that allows one to understand assessment methods and apply instructions.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Comorbid musculoskeletal-neurovascular injuries
• Bilateral injuries
