Video versus written instructions for finger tendon rehab
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares learning hand rehabilitation exercises from a video versus written instructions. If you had surgery for a flexor tendon injury, this may help you recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have an isolated flexor tendon injury (only the tendons that bend your fingers are hurt).
- Your surgery was done with only local numbing (WALANT), not general anesthesia.
- You are willing and able to give written consent to participate.
- You do not have any other injuries, a mental disability, or a history of psychiatric problems.

This study tests an exercise program focused on daily activities to improve hand function after surgery for a flexor tendon injury in the hand. It may help you regain movement and use your hand better in everyday tasks.
This study tests a fun, hand-tracking virtual reality system (like a game) to help people recover hand movement after flexor tendon surgery. If you are at least 5 weeks past surgery, you might be able to join and potentially improve your finger bending and strength.
This study compares two different positions for a hand splint after flexor tendon surgery. It aims to find which wrist position helps you heal better and move your finger sooner.
This study tests a therapy program that combines task-oriented exercises with mirror therapy (using a mirror to help trick the brain) after surgery to repair a hand tendon. It aims to help improve hand movement and function.
This study looks at outcomes—how well treatment works—after injuries to the finger or thumb flexor tendons. If your injury happened in a certain location of the tendon and you meet other safety criteria, your care and results may help improve future treatment.
