Strength Required for Opening Plastic Bottles in Individuals with Distal Radius Fracture
Author(s): Kazuo Saito and Yumiko SaitoKazuo Saito and Yumiko Saito
To estimate the hand function required to open a plastic bottle, we aimed to find out which factors are involved and to determine the cutoff value over the course of conservative therapy in patients with a distal radius fracture. In this case control study, outpatients who visited a single hospital and a single orthopedic surgery clinic were included. Fifty patients each were included in the open group (those able to open a plastic bottle) and non-open group (those unable to open a plastic bottle). Using a torque meter, the torque value required to open a plastic bottle was measured. We also examined the association between grip strength and pinch strength. We examined the function of the hand between two groups: an open group and non-open group. The period after injury (odds ratio [OR] 1.07, 0.02), pain (OR 1.68, p=0.018), grip strength of the affected hand (OR 1.50, p=0.001), pinch .. View More»
