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.

BACKGROUND Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a chronic rheumatic condition requiring long-term, multidisciplinary treatment, which consumes significant healthcare resources and family energy. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of digital interventions on patient outcomes in individuals with JIA. OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of digital interventions on alleviating symptoms and improving overall well-being in children and adolescents with JIA. METHODS A systematic search of five databases identified randomized controlled trials assessing the impact of digital interventions on physiological and psychological outcomes in adolescents and children (average age ≤ 19 years). Outcomes included pain, physical activity, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and disease-related issues. Two reviewers independently screened papers and extracted data on intervention functionalities and outcomes, assessing the risk of bias. A meta-analysis using a random-effects model synthesized the results. RESULTS The review included 11 studies involving 885 JIA patients. Digital interventions included websites, telephone consultations, video conferences, applications, and interactive games, with durations over 8 weeks. Compared to conventional control groups, digital interventions were significantly effective in alleviating pain (SMD -0.19, 95% CI -0.35 to -0.04) and enhancing physical activity levels (SMD 0.37, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.69). Marginal improvements in health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and disease-related issues were observed, but these did not reach statistical significance (SMD -0.04, 95% CI -0.19 to 0.11; SMD 0.05, 95% CI -0.11 to 0.20; SMD 0.09, 95% CI -0.11 to 0.29, respectively). The GRADE approach rated the quality of evidence for pain, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and disease-related issues as moderate, while the evidence quality for physical activity was assessed as low. CONCLUSIONS Digital interventions can alleviate pain and enhance physical activity in JIA patients. However, given the limited sample size and high risk of bias in some studies, further high-quality research is needed to improve the treatment and management of JIA.
