Mobile game app for thumb rehab
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing a mobile game can help people recover from thumb injuries, like fractures or tendinitis, by improving pain and hand function. It is for adults aged 18 to 65 who have thumb problems and can use a smartphone.
