Virtual reality hand exercises after tendon repair
This study tests whether using virtual reality along with hand exercises can help you recover better after surgery to repair the tendons that bend your fingers. It may make your rehabilitation more engaging and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
