“…We defined sport as a type of activity for improving physical activity and classified simple walking to move from one place to another as non-sports. Among 1,109 patients, 144 (13.0%) had fractures during sports activities (SRF group) and 965 (87.0%) had fractures during non-sports activities (NSRF group) [ 13 ].…”

Background The population is rapidly aging and remains active over the age of 65 years. An increasing number of sports-related fractures (SRFs) in individuals 65 and older are thus anticipated. Despite the increase in SRFs among the geriatric population, there are limited studies regarding the epidemiological data regarding SRFs in geriatric patients. This study examined the epidemiology of SRFs in a geriatric population who visited a level I trauma center. Methods Data from geriatric patients who visited a level I trauma center were collected between June 2020 and July 2023. Overall, 1,109 geriatric patients with fractures were included in the study. Among them, 144 (13.0%) had fractures during sports activities (SRF group) and 965 (87.0%) had fractures during non-sports activities (non-SRF group). We investigated the type of sport in the SRFs and compared SRFs and NSRFs to describe the differences in patient, fracture, and treatment characteristics. Results The mean age of SRFs was significantly lower (73.6 vs. 78.7 years; P < .001). The proportion of men was significantly higher in the SRF group than in the non-SRF group (51.4 vs. 29.6%; P < .001). We identified 13 types of sports associated with fractures, and the four most common were outdoor walking (36.1%), outdoor biking (27.8%), mountain hiking (19.4%), and gym (8.3%). There were no significant differences in the rate of hospitalization, operative treatment, or length of hospital stay between the two groups. However, compared to the non-SRF group, patients in the SRF group tended to return home after hospitalization (P = .002). Conclusion This epidemiological study describes geriatric population that continues to be involved in sports and is thus susceptible to fractures. The identification of the type and distribution of SRFs in geriatric patients provides useful information for determining risk factors and appropriate preventive measures that may reduce their incidence.

Introduction Physiotherapeutic rehabilitation are used to optimize functional recovery following a distal radial fracture (DRF). Being most common upper limb fracture in all age groups, the DRF peaks in young men and in post-menopausal women with incidence ratio of 1:4. Leap motion control based rehabilitation of patients with DRF is limited. This research aims to assess the efficacy of leap motion control based rehabilitation in patients with DRF. Methods In an randomized parallel group trial, subjects (n = 40) with DRF will be recruited. The participants will be enrolled into either experimental or control group with 1:1 allocation ratio. Following the primary assessment and allocation, the participants in experimental group will receive both leap motion control and conventional therapy over a period of six weeks. Participants in conventional group would undergo only conventional therapy. The primary outcome measures will be Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and Universal goniometer however the grip strength and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used as secondary outcome measures. Purpose of the study The findings of this trial will examine the impact of leap motion control in DRF patients with conventional therapy on improving the functional activity, range of motion (ROM), grip strength and pain. Expected clinical implications To conclude, this research seeks to examine the rapid and long term effects of leap motion control in DRF patients. The study findings would help prospective patients with DRF, which may include a newly designed approach of rehabilitation.

“…Distal radius fractures (DRF) is a frequent site of injury in upper extremity fracture and are amongst the mostly encountered fractures in emergency rooms (Hong et al, 2020). A DRF is typically described by fracture at a junction of the cortical bone where it is a thinner and trabecular bone network with a reinforcement of around 2cm distally from the articulating surface of the radius (MacIntyre and Dewan, 2016).…”

Introduction: Physiotherapeutic rehabilitation is used to optimize functional recovery following a distal radial fracture. Being the most common upper limb fracture in all age groups, the DRF peaks in young men and in post-menopausal women with an incidence ratio of 1:4. To date, however, work on leap motion control based rehabilitation of patients with distal radius fracture is limited. This research aims to assess the efficacy of immersive virtual reality in patients with DRF. Methods: In an experimental study, subjects (n = 40) with DRF will be recruited. The participants will be enrolled into either an experimental or control group with 1:1 allocation ratio. Following the primary assessment and allocation, the participants in the experimental group will receive both leap motion control and conventional therapy over a period of 6-week. Participants in the conventional group would undergo only conventional therapy. Throughout the treatment duration and following 6 weeks, daily living activity performance, the hand function and mental status will be assessed in the form of questionnaires.Discussion: The goal of this experimental study is to examine the impact of leap motion control after DRF on improving the functional activity and in turn quality of life. Conclusion: To conclude, this research seeks to examine the rapid and long term effects of leap motion control in DRF patients. The study findings would help prospective patients with DRF, which may include a newly designed approach to rehabilitation.
