Verification of the rehabilitation effect for wrist contracture by dynamic analysis of carpals

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
Distal radius bone fracture is major disease for elderly people. As its cure needs fixing the wrist for long time, the wrist often stiffens up and the range of its motion tends to be restricted, which is generally called “contracture”. As the contracture
