Wrist osteoarthritis is often caused by past trauma to the wrist. The primary symptom is joint pain. Salvage surgery is the final solution if exercise therapy, analgesics, orthoses, or cortisone injections fail to relieve pain.

• Web-based rehabilitationA vizsgált kezelés

  The web-based platform contains text, images, and videos which will educate and inform the patient regarding the operation and rehabilitation. There will be no scheduled physical consultations, however participants may request additional video consultations and can send text messages to the hand therapist.

• Standard rehabilitationMár használt kezelés, összehasonlításként

  The control group receive the same education and exercises. The information is provided verbally and a booklet with images of the exercises is given. However, they do not get access to the web-based platform and follow-up appointments are face-to-face at the clinic. At the follow-up appointments, participants perform their exercises, and adjustments and corrections are made when needed.
