Patients with malunion of the distal radius can experience significant disability in the form of pain, arthritis, decreased range-of-motion, weakness, and visible deformity [ 2- 7].
Breast cancer survivors frequently experience shoulder and arm pain, decreased range of motion, muscle weakness, and lymphedema.
Symptoms vary depending on which muscles and nerves are damaged and can include neck pain and decreased range of motion, headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, numbness, weak hand grip and tingling of the fingers.
Although the decreased range of motion was prominent, subjects were able to complete most of the tasks by compensating with their elbow and trunk.
Compared to young adults, older adults exhibit a slower walking speed, smaller step length, shorter swing phase time and decreased range of motion in their lower extremity joints.
Significant kinematic differences were noted between the groups (p < 0.002), including: (1) diminished dorsiflexion and increased eversion of the hindfoot; (2) decreased plantarflexion of the forefoot, as well as abduction shift and loss of the varus thrust in the forefoot; and (3) decreased range of motion (ROM) with diminished dorsiflexion of the hallux.

Malposition of the tuberosities can lead to impingement and decreased range of motion [3, 9, 10].
Complications include malunion, post-traumatic arthritis, and decreased range of motion [30].
