A retrospective cohort study of QuickDASH scores for common acute trauma conditions presenting for hand therapy.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: The QuickDASH outcome measure is a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand.

Purpose Of Study: There is limited literature providing typical QuickDASH scores for upper limb conditions.

A retrospective cohort investigation of active range of motion within one week of open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures.

Unlabelled: Distal radius fractures stabilized by open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) have become increasingly common. There is currently no consensus on the optimal time to commence range of motion (ROM) exercises post-ORIF. A retrospective cohort review was conducted over a five-year period to compare wrist and forearm range of motion outcomes and number of therapy sessions between patients who commenced active ROM exercises within the first seven days and from day eight onward following ORIF of distal radius fractures.
