Tendon gliding exercises.
نویسنده
چکیده
An exercise program for tendon gliding is introduced for use in hand treatment and rehabilitation. The program incorporates thumb range of motion and three basic fist positions: book, fist, and straight fist. The anatomic and experimental basis of this program is discussed. The exercises allow the flexor tendons to glide to their maximum potential and can greatly facilitate therapeutic activities when incorporated in a comprehensive program of occupational and hand therapy.

Three studies (1,3,5) followed the tendon and nerve gliding exercise protocol described by Totten and Hunter (6), one study utilized only the nerve gliding exercises (4), and another study utilized modifications of the tendon gliding exercises (2). Patients with severe thenar atrophy were excluded in all cases, though only two studies specifically stated inclusion criteria of intermediate stage...
متن کاملLongitudinal excursion and strain in the median nerve during novel nerve gliding exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Nerve and tendon gliding exercises are advocated in the conservative and postoperative management of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, traditionally advocated exercises elongate the nerve bedding substantially, which may induce a potentially deleterious strain in the median nerve with the risk of symptom exacerbation in some patients and reduced benefits from nerve gliding. This study aime...

PURPOSE To investigate the effects of tendon surface treatment using hyaluronic acid (HA) and lubricin on the gliding resistance of human extrasynovial palmaris longus (PL) tendon in vitro. METHODS Thirty-two fresh-frozen cadaver human fingers and 16 ipsilateral PL tendons were used. Each PL tendon was divided into 2 pieces, which were randomly assigned into 4 experimental groups. After the g...
