Filter by:This study,the investigators aimed to investigate the effects of virtual reality-based task-specific exercises applied in addition to conventional rehabilitation program on functional level and disease-related quality of life in patients who underwent surgical repair due to flexor tendon damage due to traumatic hand injury.
The hand is the basic functional organ of the human body and is responsible for complex tasks such as grasping and catching. It also plays an important role in a person's daily life, self-care activities and business life. When the flexor tendon system, which is necessary for the effective use of the hand, is damaged, it can cause physical, socioeconomic deterioration, mood disorders and permanent disabilities in the individual. Treatment of flexor tendon injuries after appropriate surgical repair ıt includes an intensive rehabilitation program. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the early rehabilitation results of patients who underwent a rehabilitation program after Zone II flexor tendon injury by comparing the improvements in joint range of motion, pain, functionality and quality of life with other zone injuries.
Repair of the zone II flexor tendon of the hand using minimal incisions is successful with good results which will improve the outcome of the repair.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of Virtual Reality as an intervention for patients following specific hand injuries will positively affect patients with decreased hand function and reduce pain and improve outcomes. Participants will be recruited from 3 different clinics in central Kentucky.
Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback training applied in addition to early passive motion protocol on electrical muscle activity (EMA) and functional status in zone I-III flexor tendon injuries. Materials and Methods: Cases who underwent surgery for flexor tendon injuries in zone I-III were included in this prospective randomized controlled trial. Cases were randomly divided into two groups of 11 cases each by block randomization. In the first group, EMG biofeedback training was applied in addition to the early passive motion method (modified Duran protocol), while the second group was followed only by early passive motion method. The treatment program was performed by the same physiotherapist three times a week, for 12 weeks. At the postoperative 5th, 12th and 24th weeks, joint range of motion (ROM) and EMA were evaluated, and the Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire (MHQ) was administered to the patients. The grip strength at 12th and 24th weeks were also assessed. The Mann-Whitney U Test was used to compare the two groups.
