At the end there were 50 patients in each of the two groups: the dorsiflexion (DF) group had a total of 37 women and 13 men, mean age was 63.48 &amp;amp;plusmn; 14.70, and in the palmar flexion (PF) group there were respectively 38\/12, and the mean age was 64.20 &amp;amp;plusmn; 12.99. In both groups measurements of radiological, clinical and functional parameters were conducted. Patient related wrist evaluation survey (PRWE) and SF12 questionnaire were used for evaluation of pain and function of the wrist and physical and mental condition, respectively. &amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Results&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; The study showed excellent results in both groups but there was significant improvement in the range of motion (ROM) on every measurement in the DF group: dorsal flexion 47.70&amp;amp;plusmn;15.29; ulnar deviation 24.10&amp;amp;plusmn;7.80; radial deviation 11.50&amp;amp;plusmn;5.65 vs PF 22.80&amp;amp;plusmn;19.04; 16.00&amp;amp;plusmn; 9.31; 4.80&amp;amp;plusmn; 494 (p&amp;amp;lt;0.001).
