This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of an orthotic device in treating proximal humerus fractures. The following research methods were used Orthosis user group compare to the non-orthotic user group in terms of PHFs management. Physical function in daily activities and recovery were assessed using the DASH, SPADI, SST, Muscular Strength, and CONSTANT scores, radiological assessment, as well as the Orthosis questionnaire AND mathematically (statistical data processing). Based on the data normality results and clinical outcomes, a statistically significant difference between two groups was illustrate, the orthosis user group indicating a minimum level of inability, pain severity and a lack of functional skills to execute specific activities, had higher shoulder function and activity muscle strength recovered to a normal level, more effective in preserving and promoting arm function, as well as allowing for better functional mobility. Bone union indicating that the orthosis user group allowed the fracture to heal while providing sufficient support and stability. Furthermore, an orthosis satisfaction survey found that patients were fell protected and comfortable with the new orthosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
