The effect of passive mobilisation on the return of active wrist extension following Colles' fracture was investigated in this clinical trial. Thirty patients were randomly assigned to either the control or experimental group. Both treatment groups received a standard regime of heat, active exercise and home advice. In addition, the experimental group received passive joint mobilisation while the control group received sham mobilisation in the form of soft tissue massage. Statistical analysis of the results failed to show any significant difference between the groups in terms of final active wrist extension and rate of improvement over time. The results suggest that routine passive mobilisation of the wrist following Colles' fracture in this clinical trial was no more effective in assisting the return of active wrist extension than soft tissue massage.
