No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Flexor tendon repair is commonly performed to restore hand function after tendon injuries. Different rehabilitation techniques are used to improve range of motion, grip strength, and functional outcomes. This randomized controlled trial compares the effects of myofascial release and hand mobilization following flexor tendon repair. Thirty participants are randomly allocated into two groups. Outcomes include wrist range of motion, grip strength, and the QuickDASH questionnaire. The findings may help determine the effectiveness of these rehabilitation techniques following flexor tendon repair.

Conditions

  • Flexor Tendon Injury

Interventions

OTHER

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique applied after flexor tendon repair as part of the rehabilitation program. The technique aims to improve soft tissue mobility, reduce myofascial restrictions, enhance wrist and hand range of motion, and improve functional outcomes.

OTHER

Hand Mobilization

Hand mobilization is a rehabilitation technique applied after flexor tendon repair to improve tendon gliding, wrist and hand range of motion, and functional recovery.
