  • Background: Post external fixation plaster 1/3 distal radius fractures ec or socalled Colles' fracture has some problems caused by long immobilization, including pain, edema, limited range of motion (ROM) Objective: To determine the benefits of Infrared, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) and exercise therapy to reduce pain, decrease edema, increase range of motion (ROM) flexion, extension, ulnar defiasi, defiasi radial wrist joints and flexion metacarpo phalangeal joints, proximal interphalang , and distal interphalang. Results: After therapy 6 times showed pain assessment. In tenderness T1: 3 to T6: 1, painful motion T1: 5 to T6: 3, increase range of motion of wrist S: T1: 410-00- 300 be T6: 600-00-500, F: T1: 150- 00-200 becomes T6: 190-00-260, increase range of motion Metacharpo phalangeal S: T1: 250-00-250 be T6: 250-0-680, increase range of motion of the proximal interphalang S: T1: 00-00-670 be T6 : 00-0-780, increase range of motion of the distal interphalang S: T1: 00-00-140 be T6: 00-00- 190, increase muscle strength right forearm flexor T1: 4 to T6: 5, the strength of the right forearm extensor muscles T1:4 to T6: 5, edema reduction processus styloideus T1: 19cm into T6: 18.5cm. Conclusion: Infrared and TENS can reduce pain, forced passive movement and hold relax can increase range of motion, active resisted can improve muscle strength, and free active exercise can reduce edema.
