Objective: To find out the efficacy of passive mobilization in post immobilization period of distal radius fracture.

Methods: Thirty subjects in post immobilization period of distal radius fractures were randomly allocated to experimental and control groups. They were evaluated for pain, grip strength, ROM and functional capabilities on 0 day (before the treatment started), at the end of 2^nd and 4^th week. Both groups received Paraffin Wax Bath and home exercises in common. However passive mobilization was an additional intervention received by the experimental group.

Results: Statistical analysis showed significant gain in pain reduction, grip strength, ROM and functional capabilities in 0 day– 2^nd week in experimental group but there was no difference in 2^nd – 4^th week.

Conclusion: Passive mobilization is effective in 0 day – 2^nd week but not in 2^nd – 4^th week in post immobilization period of distal radius fractures.
