Targeted sensorimotor retraining in the clinical setting: Improving patient outcomes following distal upper extremity injury

Abstract

Background: Existing theoretical evidence indicates sensorimotor retraining is beneficial following wrist injury. However, there are no large cohort studies applying the knowledge in a clinical setting. Purpose of the Study: To Determine the clinical benefits of sensorimotor rehabilitation following distal upper extremity injury. Study Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: A sensorimotor rehabilitation program was evaluated following distal upper extremity injury. A battery of clinical and patient-rated outcome measures (PROM) were taken before and after group completion. Results: Ninety-three patients, 49 males (53%) and 44 females (47%), completed the program. There were statistically..
