Summary

The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of graded motor imagery training applied during the immobilization period on hand functions, range of motion, proprioception and kinesiophobia before and after the rehabilitation program in patients with flexor tendon repair.

Conditions

  • Flexor Tendon Repair

Interventions

OTHER

exercises

Patients in both group will use Kleinert splint. Sessions will start with ice application if there is edema and continue with scar tissue massage. After general hand massage, passive flexion, active extension exercises; tenodesis exercise and passive punch will be performed for the postoperative (postop) first two weeks. In postop 3-4 weeks, four finger sliding exercises, active half fist and NMES (Neuromuscular electrical stimulation) will be performed. In postop 5-6 weeks, blocking exercises, full punch, grappling hooks and small on-digits holding and releasing exercises will be performed additionally.

OTHER

Exercises and Education

In addition to the same treatment as the patients in the first group, in the first postoperative (postop) two weeks, the gmi will be explained to the patients and lateralization will be started. lateralization refers to right-left discrimination and the patients will be presented with visuals with the help of the noi recognise app and they will have to decide whether the visual is right or left hand. In the postop 3-4th weeks, the motor imagery stage will be started and imagery will be practiced with the help of the same app. In postop 5-6 weeks, mirror therapy will be practiced with the help of a mirror box.
