Summary

Following upper limb surgeries, patients could receive occupational therapy either in-person or remotely (teletherapy). The investigators currently do not know which occupational therapy delivery is better in terms of clinical outcomes and patient recovery. The proposed study is a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) testing the feasibility of comparing in-person occupational therapy to teletherapy following operative fixation of upper extremity fracture. It is a single site, parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial to compare teletherapy versus in-person occupational therapy. Patients who are eligible will be randomized similar to a flip of a coin (1:1) to occupational therapy in-person or through a telemedicine platform. Patients would also complete surveys at each follow-up visit to measure clinical outcomes.
