This pilot study will test a new therapy, somatosensory rehabilitation, for the painful sensitivity experienced by persons with nerve injuries and/or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Several methods for measuring pain and sensitivity that emphasize the person's evaluation of their own symptoms and the impact of these symptoms on their daily activities will also be tested to make sure they are consistent and accurate. Previous research has suggested one of the assessments may also be used to assist in the identification of CRPS: this simple test will be evaluated to see if it can accurately identify persons with this disorder (for which there is currently no diagnostic test). Together, this will improve treatment of CRPS through early, accurate diagnosis and the ability to measure important changes in this painful condition, and set up future studies for this new rehabilitation treatment method.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine effects of mirror therapy in restoring hand function in patients with flexor lag following orthopedic injuries. Methods: In a prospective randomized controlled trial, 22 patients with Flexor Lag will be measured. Intervention group will receive mirror therapy, 30-minute a day, 5 days a week for 3-week, as well, half an hour conventional rehabilitation after each mirror therapy session. Patients in the control group will receive the same treatment program, but instead of mirror, they will directly observe the affected hand. Outcome measures including Total Active Motion (TAM), and Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire will be administered before and after the treatment period and 3 weeks after the final treatment session.
