Wrist fracture recovery: fear may slow you down
NCT ID NCT07668531
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how fear of moving the wrist (kinesiophobia) changes over time in adults with a common wrist fracture treated with a cast. Researchers will follow 100 people for 3 months after the cast comes off, measuring pain, grip strength, and wrist function. The goal is to understand how this fear affects recovery and help improve rehabilitation strategies.
