Fear of moving may slow wrist healing, new study suggests
NCT ID NCT07291505
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether fear of movement (kinesiophobia) can predict how well people recover after a wrist fracture treated without surgery. Researchers will measure fear levels, wrist motion, strength, and daily function in 34 adults. The goal is to understand if psychological factors play a role in physical recovery.
