Abstract

Supervision by physiotherapists, starting 4-6 weeks after cast removal, was compared with self-training in 110 patients treated for Colles' fracture. The patients guided by physiotherapists were all satisfied with the treatment, but no functional advantages could be discerned when compared with self-training.
