To Study the Effect of Home Based Exercise Program HEP Verses Institution Based Occupational Therapy IOT in Improving Hand Function in Post Operative Colles Fracture

The fractures usually involve not only the ends of the bone but also the small ligaments in the wrist. This may further decrease stability of the wrist joint and create problems with functioning of the wrist and hand.The purpose of study is to describe the effect of Home based Exercise Program HEP verses Institution based Occupational Therapy IOT in improving hand function in post operative colles fracture. Methods Pre test and post test experimental group design was used. By using Convenient sampling method A total number of 40 subjects were selected for the study. 20 patient in group 1 experimental group and 20 patient in group 2 experimental group all the subjects were recruited from hand section, department of occupational therapy at SVNIRTAR. The subject of group 1 underwent IOT programme along with conventional therapy. The subject of group 2 underwent HEP .The Patient rated Wrist Hand Evaluation PRWHE was developed to assess pain in the wrist joint and functional difficulties in activities of daily living. The results shows U=0.000 and Z value 4.715 which corresponds to p value of 0.00 PRWHE score as the p value is less than set level of confidence 0.05 , there is significant difference in PRWHE between the group Conclusion The result of this study found that there is difference on improvement of hand function of the subjects undergone for IOT and HEP.Hence the experimental hypothesis was rejected and null hypothesis was accepted. It is concluded that HEP and need based IOT both are not equally effective in improving hand function.
