Taping to improve hand function after tendon repair surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether wearing special tape (Kinesio Taping) on your hand and fingers can help you use your hand better after surgery for a tendon injury on the top of your hand. It might help reduce swelling and pain and improve your hand function while you heal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
