The goal of this study is to present the author's thumb orthosis with a butonier deformity and its effect on hand function, strength, dexterity and pain levels in relation to patients wearing factory-made orthopedic supplies. It is planned to include about 60 people in the study (30 people each in the group with thermoplastic orthoses and 30 participants with factory-made orthoses)
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. How much improvement in dexterity will the patient wearing the orthosis get? 2. By how much will the grip strength of the whole hand and pincer grip strength improve with the orthosis? 3. How will wearing the orthosis affect the pain associated with the disease? Participants will
measurement of grip strength of the right and left hands with a dynamometer in an orthosis and without an orthosis, at the time of the test conducted and at the appointed times.
measurement of pincer grip strength with a dynamometer in an orthosis and without an orthosis, at the time of the test conducted and at the designated times.
4. completion of the DASH questionnaire 6. assessment of the NRS pain scale in relation to the period of 6 months before the start of the study 7. Likert scale - evaluation of satisfaction with the use of the orthosis 8. the Kapandji scale Researchers will compare patients with thermoplastic orthosis and patients with fabric orthosis to see which is more functional.

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness of early therapy in 14 patients with a distal radius fracture DRF resulting from injury, as the study group. Assess hand function of patients who underwent surgical repair of distal radius fractures using the open reduction internal fixation method (ORIF), compared to their nonoperated limb, after 6 months of early rehabilitation.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Significantly faster recovery of independence from daily activities by the patient.
For economic reasons, patients often expect to return to work as soon as possible.
Participants will be subjected to functional examination to assess hand function of patients who underwent surgical repair of distal radius fractures using the open reduction internal fixation method.

The study will be conducted at various city swimming pools in Warsaw. The study participants will include 20 infants participating in aquatic baby classes once a week and 20 infants not participating in any classes and their parents. The study will be conducted in a quiet and calm room, which will be prepared in advance and equipped with a smooth mat, a lounger and infant toys. The estimated time to conduct the study is about 30 minutes.
The examination will be carried out twice: before the start of the two-month course and after its completion. Each time in the presence of a parent or legal guardian, after signing a consent form for the study.
The selected methods of assessing motor development are fully non-invasive and consist of the following tests:
Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)-a test involving observation of motor development, in which each activity is assessed as existing or not. The sum of the scores from all trials is then placed on a centile grid, the results of which will indicate how many children of a certain age are achieving a given level of motor skills.
Early Motor Development Questionnaire (EMQ)-will be conducted on the basis of a ready-made form and in an anonymous manner based on parents' current knowledge of their children's development.
