Distal Radius Fracture: Late-Stage Rehabilitation

Course overview

Distal radius fracture is one of the most common diagnoses treated in the hand therapy clinic. Once the patient is cleared to perform passive range of motion, treatment can begin to address the joint-related limitations as well as proprioception and eventually strength deficits that can limit the patient from returning to normal daily activities. This course is designed to guide occupational and physical therapists in the interventions for late-stage treatment of distal radius fractures using an evidence-supported approach. Gain insight on how manual therapy techniques, proprioceptive training, and strengthening can maximize your patient's occupational performance. Note: this course is a follow-up to Distal Radius Fracture: Early-Stage Rehabilitation.
