Summary

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic hand splint on hand range of motion following extensor tendon repair.

Conditions

  • Splints
  • Range of Motion
  • Extensor Tendons of Finger Anomalies

Interventions

OTHER

customized dynamic hand splint

After 3 weeks of repair surgery, both groups were asked to take of the static splints, then the patients in group A (study group) were asked to wear customized dynamic hand splint daytime between sessions whole duration from third week post operative for 2 months till the end of the rehabilitation sessions, on the other hand the patients in group B (control group) were not asked to wear customized dynamic hand splint.

OTHER

traditional treatment (first stage)

All patients underwent a standardized rehabilitation program involving chair exercises. Key components included management of postoperative hand edema through distal-to-proximal massage to enhance tendon glide and range of motion; deep friction massage to reduce adhesions of postoperative scars; positive effects of massage therapy on hypertrophic and burn scar thickness; use of ultrasound on repaired tendons to minimize adhesions and promote healing; and gentle passive range of motion exercises for wrist and finger joints to gradually restore motion.

OTHER

traditional treatment (second and third stage)

This stage spanned two weeks following rehabilitation, during which all patients in both groups performed gentle stretching, active-assisted, and active free range of motion exercises to improve neuromuscular control and joint movements. This stage lasted one month, during which all patients engaged in active resisted range of motion, strengthening exercises, and functional training to restore muscle power and daily activity levels. Thera-band resistance training can improve muscle strength and functional fitness in older adults in community settings, serving as a safe and manageable physical activity that nursing staff can seamlessly integrate into daily routines.
