A 53 year old grocery store clerk had an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of a distal radius fracture of her dominant upper extremity 4 months ago. The patient developed complex regional pain syndrome 30 days after surgery. Upon assessment, the patient is observed to have decreased ROM and decreased abilities to complete functional tasks. The OT would like the patient to start a work hardening program so the patient can return to work in 60 days. What short term goal should the OT give to this patient? Marked as spam

Answer: B. Pain modulation techniques will help the patient to manage and/or reduce pain while completing work tasks, allowing her to continue work rather than stopping work to manage pain symptoms. Marked as spam
