Abstract

BACKGROUND: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are common fracture types and elderly patients often struggle to achieve functional recovery, which could be overcome by precise rehabilitation. This study aims to develop an innovative approach for acquiring patient-specific musculoskeletal models to provide guidelines for therapists to tailor rehabilitation plans individually.
