Summary
The study would like show that patients who follow a protocol with GMI are less probability to develop CRPS
Detailed description
Distal radius fractures (DRF) has a high frequency in adults. Studies show that the upper limb is frequently affected by CRPS, especially if is preceded by a fracture. Recent studies suggest that changes in cortical structures can contribute to the onset of CRPS. GMI is a approved and efficacy method in CRPS rehabilitation, because it trains modified cortical areas throught 3 stadies: left-right discrimination, visual motor imagery and mirror therapy. Literature shows that there are any studies about GMI efficacy on prevention CRPS in DRF after surgery. This study would like to demostrate that, appling GMI in the early stages of rehabilitation plus standard rehabilitation protocol of DRF after surgery, CRPS cases are reducted.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | GMI protocol | This group follow GMI program split in 3 step: 1. left/right descrimination 2. visual motor imagery 3. mirror therapy Patients perform this exercises 3 times every day and they have checks in therapy al least twice a week. |
| OTHER | Standard Rehabilitation Protocol | This group follow standard rehabilitation protocol, with active and passive motion of upper limb structure, including hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder. Patients perform this exercises 3 times every day and they have checks in therapy al least twice a week. |
