This study tests a gentle massage technique called myofascial release to see if it reduces pain, improves grip strength, and helps hand function after flexor tendon repair surgery. It may help people who are in the later stages of hand rehabilitation.
This trial studies if combining task-oriented exercises with mirror therapy helps people recover hand movement better after flexor tendon repair surgery. It is for working-age adults who had a direct repair of a flexor tendon in their hand.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for repairing flexor tendons (the cords that help you bend your fingers) in the palm area of your hand. The goal is to find which method helps your hand work better after surgery.
This study compares two different hand therapy programs after a tendon repair in one finger. It will help determine which movement approach—active or passive—works best for recovery.
This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy can help improve hand function after flexor tendon repair surgery. The therapy uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce scar tissue, and it may help you regain movement more quickly.
This trial tests whether a type of physical therapy using special energy (capacitive and resistive) can reduce pain and improve movement after surgery to repair a flexor tendon in the finger. It might help you recover better after your tendon repair.
