Health Behaviour Clinical Trial
Official title:
Treatment of the PIP Joint Flexion Contracture: Combined Static and Dynamic Orthotic Intervention Compared With Traditional Combine Therapy. A Randomized Controlled Trial
Study Design: Randomized controlled clinical study. Introduction: Physiotherapeutic
intervention aiming to restore mobility using different techniques as stretching, hot packs,
exercises, therapeutic ultrasound and orthotics. No scientific evidence has been found
correlating improved joint mobility and the use of these techniques. Application techniques
of orthoses to reshape the soft tissues have been well detailed, however, no scientific
evidence supporting their effectiveness on proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) lag
extension resolution using them as a single treatment has been found.
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study was to test the effectiveness of static and
dynamic orthosis in patients with a PIPJ flexion retraction using them as a single treatment
compared with traditional combined therapies.
Method: 63 participants were included in the study. Patients who used splints were compared
to a control group who received conventional treatment. Active and passive mobility were
measured before the experiment and again three months after. All the patients were measured
under the same conditions and treated by the same hand therapist. The relationship between
contracture resolution and function was measured using the DASH Spanish Version.
