Protocol summary

Study aim
To compare the effects of Maitland and Mulligan mobilization for post-surgical mobility complications of distal radius fracture and change the quality of life of participants after the treatment andreduce pain and increase functional mobility
Design
A single blinded randomized controlled trial having lottery method and simple convenient sampling
Settings and conduct
Patients were taken from Madinah Teaching Hospital (MTH) Faisalabad, District Headquarter Hospital (DHQ) Faisalabad and Allied Hospital Faisalabad. Group A patients received Maitland mobilization technique and Group B patients received Mulligan (MWM) technique while moist heat was given to both of the groups as a baseline treatment.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Subjects having distal radius fracture and who are gone through the process of open reduction and internal fixation. Moreover, participants whose cast has been removed after two months following the surgery of distal radius fracture. Participants having functional limitation and pain and with an average of about 30 to 60 years are included in the study. Exclusion criteria includes:• Osteopinea, Malunion of the fracture, Pre- existing inflammatory condition of the joints, Prolong steroid usage, Bony block, Hypermobility, Joint effusion, Haemarthrosis, Sudeck’s dystrophy, Complex regional pain syndrome, Infection, Impaired sensation or circulation, Fracture site other than distal radius
Intervention groups
Group A (Maitland mobilization group)=Hot pack 15 minutes (baseline treatment) Maitland grade 1 and 2 (first two weeks) Grade 3 and 4 (next two weeks) Group B (Mulligan mobilization group)=Hot pack 15 minutes (baseline treatment) Mulligan mobilization (medial, lateral , anterior and posterior directions) (four weeks)
Main outcome variables
Pain, range of motion and functional limitation of wrist

Health conditions studied

1

Description of health condition studied
In the forearm region of upper extremity radius is the bone which is located on the lateral side of the forearm alongside ulna. The distal part of the radius is that part which is connected to the wrist. If any break or discontinuity comes in this part of the radius then it is usually referred to as fracture of the distal radius, and this fracture usually takes place when a person falls on an outstretched hand leading to impact of the wrist to the floor and resulting in fracture. This fracture can also take place if a person falls while the wrist is in a flexed position. It is also very common among people of older age and athletes. Complications such as impaired circulation, malunion, infection and complex regional pain syndrome can also occur after this fracture.
ICD-10 code
M84.333
ICD-10 code description
Stress fracture, right radius

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Pain in the distal part of radius as a result of fracture is the primary outcome
Timepoint
Pain will be measured at the start of the treatment sessions and then after four weeks when the treatment sessions are finished
Method of measurement
Visual analogue scale will be used to measure pain

Secondary outcomes

1

Description
Range of motion and functional limitation of wrist
Timepoint
Range of motion and functional limitation of wrist will be measured before the treatment sessions and after four weeks when all the treatment sessions are given
Method of measurement
Goniometer and PRWE questionnaire will be used to measure the range of motion and functional limitation

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group 1: Maitland mobilization (The participants present in this group first of all received heat using hot pack for a duration of about fifteen minutes as baseline treatment. After this making sure that the muscles were completely relaxed grade 1 and grade 2 of Maitland mobilization was applied to the wrist. These two grades were applied for first two weeks. After these two weeks the level of grade was increased to grade 3 and grade 4 and these two grades of Maitland mobilization were applied for the next two weeks).
Category
Rehabilitation

2

Description
Intervention group 2: Mulligan mobilization (The participants present in this group also first of all received heat using hot pack for a duration of about fifteen minutes as baseline treatment. After this making sure that the muscles were relaxed mobilization with movement technique of Mulligan mobilization was applied to the participants in the antero-posterior direction, medial direction and lateral direction at the level of the distal radio-ulnar joint. These mobilization techniques were applied for a time duration of about four weeks).
