Virtual reality hand therapy after flexor tendon injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a flexor tendon injury in the hand (the tendons that bend your fingers) in a specific area (zones II–V).
- You had surgery to repair the tendon, and it has been at least 5 weeks since that surgery.
- You are able to join a standard hand therapy program.
- You do not have any other health issues (like nerve damage, arthritis, or severe trauma) that would affect your arm or hand.
