Rehabilitation after a distal radius fracture centers on restoring wrist and hand function through restoring motion, building strength, and applying safe, progressive loading to support return to daily activities and work tasks. Enhancing cardiovascular endurance is not typically the main focus because it doesn’t directly address the mechanical and functional deficits of the injured wrist in the early to mid rehab phases. The emphasis is on regaining range of motion to prevent stiffness, restoring grip and pinch strength for functional tasks, and gradually loading tissues as healing allows to promote tissue adaptation without overloading the healing fracture.
