Summary

Surgically repaired hand tendon injuries may be adversely affected by kinesiophobia during rehabilitation. In this pioneering study, we aimed to investigate the impact of kinesiophobia on functional recovery and rehabilitation outcomes during postoperative rehabilitation of hand tendon injuries.

Conditions

  • Kinesiophobia
  • Tendon Injuries

Interventions

OTHER

Hand Rehabilitation

Passive mobilization exercises were initiated for these patients in the first postoperative week. Flexor tendon repair patients were immobilized for 3-4 weeks postoperatively. During this period, passive mobilization exercises were with controlled movement. After removing the splint in the third or fourth week, tendon-gliding exercises were initiated, followed by isolated tendon-gliding exercises in the fifth week. Electrotherapy was started in the sixth week (5 days a week, for 15 sessions). For extensor tendon repair patients, immobilization lasting 3-6 weeks was applied based on the injury level. During immobilization, passive range of motion (ROM) exercises were performed for adjacent joints while the hand remained in the splint. After splint removal, active and passive ROM exercises, and tendon-gliding exercises with gradually increasing intensity were started according to the injury level. Electrotherapy was started in in the sixth week.
