About this trial

This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine comparision of Kaltenborn Mobilization and Mobilization with Movement (MWM) in wrist Hpomobility after Colle's fracture.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Both male and female participants (40-70 years old) Participants who will have diagnosed Colle's fracture and treated conservatively by plaster cast fixation and should referred from department of orthopedic surgery Patients group with post Colle's fractures stiffness

Disqualifiers

Patients having diagnosed Colle's fracture and treated with invasive procedure like K wiring, ORIF etc.

Patient with Neuromuscular injuries.(diagnosed)

Rheumatoid arthritis.

Patients with metacarpal fracture or compartment syndrome, non-union.(diagnosed)

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Kaltenborn Mobilization

    Procedure/Surgery

    All participants received a standardized treatment regimen first. This began with the application of a hot pack or infrared therapy for 10 to 15 minutes at the start of each session. then this group will receive Kaltenborn mobilizations with each mobilization technique performed for 10 repetitions, and each repetition maintained for 2 to 3 seconds. Mobilizations included palmar (volar) glide, dorsal glide, radial glide, and ulnar glide. In addition to wrist mobilizations, anterior and posterior glides were applied to the distal radioulnar joint.

  • Mulligan Mobilization with Movement

    Procedure/Surgery

    All participants received a standardized treatment regimen first. This began with the application of a hot pack or infrared therapy for 10 to 15 minutes at the start of each session. then this group will receive Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement (MWM) technique, which involved 10 repetitions of each mobilization, with each repetition held for 2 to 3 seconds. First, a lateral glide or rotational movement of the carpal bones on the radius was applied, accompanied by the patient actively performing the intended wrist movement, such as flexion, extension, or deviation. Second, an ulnar-directed mobilization of the radius was provided simultaneously with active patient movement.

Treatment groups

40 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Kaltenborn mobilizationExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Mulligan mobilization with movementActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Range of Motion at wrist

Range of Motion at wrist will be measured by goniometer

Time frame
1st measurement taken before starting session (Baseline measurement) 2nd or post measurement taken after end of sessions (after 3 weeks) (2 points measurement would be taken) 9 treatment sessions in 3 weeks is total time period.
2

Wrist Pain

Measured by PRWE questionnaire. Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation is a 15-item questionnaire help to assess wrist pain and disability during daily tasks The Pain Subscale consists of 5 items, ranging from 0 to 10. The total score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 50 (maximum pain).

Time frame
1st measurement taken after 3 or 4 sessions of treatment 2nd or last/post measurement taken at end of session (after 3 weeks) (2 points measurement would be taken).
3

Functional disability

Measured by PRWE questionnaire. Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation is a 15-item questionnaire help to assess wrist pain and disability during daily tasks. The Function Subscale includes 10 questions divided into two parts-6 questions assess specific activities, and 4 questions assess usual activities. The score for this subscale also ranges from 0 (no difficulty) to 50 (maximum difficulty).

Time frame
1st measurement taken after 3 or 4 sessions of treatment 2nd or last/post measurement taken at end of session (after 3 weeks) 2 points measurement would be taken)

Secondary outcomes

1

Grip Strength

Hand held dynamometer was used to assess patient's grip strength. To assess strength, the person sat on chair with 90-degree hip and knee flexion, shoulder in adduction, and elbow flexed to 90 degrees. The forearm and wrist were in a resting position. The dynamometer is placed in the person's hand, and the therapist or examiner gently supports the base of the device. The person was asked to clench the dynamometer as hard as they can for a few seconds, maintaining a smooth and consistent effort. The dynamometer displayed the force generated by the person's grip, and the reading was recorded. The process was usually repeated multiple times (e.g., three trials) to get an average reading and ensure reliability.

Time frame
1st measurement taken before starting session (Baseline measurement) 2nd or post measurement taken after end of sessions (after 3 weeks) (2 points measurement would be taken) 9 treatment sessions in 3 weeks is total time period.
