Recovery in the symmetry of hand use after distal radius fracture
The change in LI in the DI group was considered recovery, as it was identical to the symmetry observed in healthy adults. Additionally, the non-DI group was considered to have adapted to a pattern of predominant use of the dominant hand. The correlation between LI and some functional outcomes appeared to depend on hand use patterns, specifically whether the injured hand was dominant or not. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring interventions.
