Several body functions improved significantly (pain, sleep, wrist and forearm movements, and grip strength fraction), and effect sizes ranged from medium to large. For several outcome variables, earlier therapy was significantly associated with better results; moreover, the likelihood of achieving better outcomes was significantly higher among participants who attended more sessions.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions and Relevance:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Occupational therapy services have an important role to play after a DRF in terms of returning to daily activities and reducing impairments in body functions. Earlier intervention and attending a higher number of occupational therapy sessions are likely to further improve these outcomes.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>What This Article Adds:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Because the effects of occupational therapy among people with a DRF remain uncertain, we quantified the outcomes of this intervention in an outpatient rehabilitation service, revealing medium to large improvements in the performance of daily activities and in various body functions. Our findings identified two factors associated with better results: early initiation of therapy and a higher number of occupational therapy sessions.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5014\/ajot.2023.050218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,16]],"date-time":"2023-11-16T09:07:00Z","timestamp":1700125620000},"page":"1054-1061","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Functional Changes After Occupational Therapy Among Individuals With a Distal Radius Fracture: A Longitudinal Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"77","author":[{"given":"Iv\u00e1n","family":"De-Rosende-Celeiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Iv\u00e1n De-Rosende-Celeiro, PhD, OT, is Assistant Professor and Occupational Therapist, Department of Health Sciences, University of A Coru\u00f1a, A Coru\u00f1a, Spain;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorge Juan","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Barreiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jorge Juan Fern\u00e1ndez-Barreiro, OT, is Occupational Therapist, A Coru\u00f1a University Hospital Complex, A Coru\u00f1a, Spain."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-1-4557-5647-6.00037-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_1_3_1","first-page":"1038","article-title":"Development of the QuickDASH: Comparison of three item-reduction approaches","volume":"87","author":"Beaton D.
