1.You are treating two patients, one with the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (nonoperative), the other with a stable, minimally displaced Colles’ fracture. Based on your understanding of bone and soft-tissue healing, develop a comprehensive critical pathway (criterion-based rehabilitation program) for each case in which you will recommend specific therapeutic interventions for pain and swelling management, restoration of motion, muscle contraction types, cardiovascular fitness, general physical conditioning, and closed-chain proprioception functional activities. Organize your outline so that the rehabilitation program you recommend parallels the phases of soft-tissue and bone healing, which in turn coincides with the maximum-protection phase, moderateprotection phase, and minimum-protection phase of recovery. Which ergonomic and functional ADL modifications do you recommend for the patient with carpal tunnel syndrome? Which exercises and activities do you recommend for the patient with the Colles’ fracture during periods of immobilization? Clearly note and identify complications that can occur after a Colles’ fracture.
