ABSTRACT
Background: Post-surgical rehabilitation of
Colle’s fracture requires manual and exercise therapy to restore normal hand
function.
Aim: To compare the
effectiveness of Maitland mobilization and Mulligan’s mobilization with
movement on hand function and pain after Colle’s fracture.
Study Design: Non
randomized clinical study.
Methodology: Study was conducted after ethical approval, at physiotherapy
department Mayo hospital Lahore in 2019-20. Sample of 60 patients estimated by
epitool, was divided into three equal groups (A, B & C). Subjects were
screened on the basis of predefined eligibility criteria. All three groups
received the respective therapy along with baseline treatment on alternate days
for 4 weeks. Pre and post treatment and follow up assessments included VAS,
patient rated wrist evaluation questionnaire and wrist ranges of motion with
goniometer.
Results: Mean age of participants
was 45.38±6.58 years. No significant measures were found in any of the outcome
measure between Maitland and Mulligan mobilization (p<0.05). Statistically
significant improvement was found in all groups. Conclusion: We concluded
that that the Mulligan mobilization
with movement was effective to reduce pain and improve hand function in
management after Colle’s fracture.
Keywords: Colle’s
Fracture, Post Fracture Stiffness, Radius Fracture, Mobilization and Mulligan’s
Mobilization.
