Flexor Tendon Repair Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effects of Graded Motor Imagery Training Before and After the Rehabilitation Program in Patients With Flexor Tendon Repair
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.

Primary | Quick-DASH | The QuickDASH is an abbreviated version of the original DASH outcome measure. In comparison to the original 30 item DASH outcome measure, the QuickDASH only contains 11 items. It is a questionnaire that measures an individual's ability to complete tasks, absorb forces, and severity of symptoms. The QuickDASH tool uses a 5-point Likert scale from which the patient can select an appropriate number corresponding to his/her severity/function level. | baseline, postoperative 6th week, postoperatif 8th week | |
Primary | Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia | TSK is a self-reported questionnaire that quantifies fear of movement, or (re)injury. In its original form, the TSK is a 17 item assessment checklist. [1] It uses a 4-point Likert scale (Strongly Disagree-Disagree-Agree-Strongly Agree) with statements that have been later linked to the model of fear-avoidance, fear of work-related activities, fear of movement, and fear of re-injury. | baseline, postoperative 6th week, postoperatif 8th week | |
Primary | Duruöz Hand Index | 18 questions regarding ability to carry out manual tasks. Questions are grouped in five domains: In the kitchen (8), dressing (2), hygiene (2), in the office (2), and other (4).
The patient is instructed to answer each question in terms of the level of difficulty they experience completing various tasks without help from another person or assistive device. Individual items are scored on a 6-point Likert scale where 0=without difficulty and 5=impossible. The 18 individual scores are summed to obtain a composite score The total score ranges from 0-90 with higher scores indicating poorer hand functioning |

Secondary | Active Range of Motion | measured with a finger goniometer | baseline, postoperative 6th week, postoperatif 8th week | |
Secondary | Passive Range of Motion | measured with a finger goniometer | baseline, postoperative 6th week, postoperatif 8th week | |
Secondary | Visual Analog Scale | The patient marks on the line the point that they feel represents their perception of their current state. 0 represents no pain and 10 represents unbearable pa,n. The VAS score is determined by measuring in millimetres from the left hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks. | baseline, postoperative 6th week, postoperatif 8th week |
