Summary:Purpose: To report the efficacy of rehabilitation therapy focusing on the pronation limitation of the forearm, which obtained a good result for a patient with de Quervain disease. Subject: The subject was a woman in her 40s who complained of pain in the radial side of the thumb of the right hand. Methods: We performed a pain test, an orthopedic test, range of motion (ROM) measurement, and a carpal bone arch assessment, and on the basis of the results, we conducted therapy for the limitation of pronation of the right forearm. Results: We observed improvement in the patient's complaint through correction of the carpal arch, and improvement in forearm pronation ROM. Conclusion: In rehabilitation for de Quervain disease, in addition to assessment of the affected part, assessment of, as well as therapy for, the other upper limb joints is necessary.
