Official Title: Closed Kinetic Chain Exercise Versus Russian Current Stimulation in Rehabilitation of Colles' Fracture.

Brief Summary: This study compared the effects of closed kinetic chain exercise and Russian current stimulation on pain, functional disability, wrist range of motion (ROM) and grip strength in patients with colles' fracture. Forty five patients with stable colles' fractures are randomly classified into three groups with fifteen patients in each group; Group I received traditional exercise in the form of; Mobilization, stretching exercises, range of motion exercises (passive and active) and edema control of the wrist joint. Group II stimulated by electrical Russian current in addition to traditional exercise. Group III received closed kinetic chain exercise (wall press, plyometric wall push up, Quadruped rhythmic stabilization, and Push up exercises) plus traditional exercise. All outcome measures including Pain, function, Wrist ROM, and grip strength were evaluated before and after the treatment program.
