Objectives: Despite numerous studies, having the best outcome is challenging after flexor tendon repairs in zone 2. This study were done to test the hypothesis that immediate postoperative active mobilization will achieve similar outcomes to passive mobilization. Methods: Fifty fingers in 38 patients with flexor tendon repair in zone 2 were enrolled in this trial. The patients randomly assig...

background: despite a general consensus regarding the impacts of early excision and grafting (ee and g) of burned hand on the reducing of treatment cost and hospital stay, there are some controversial issues about its eff ect on the outcome of hand function.th is study conducted to compare the results of the ee and g and delayed skin grafting in deep hand burns regarding the hand functional out...

Introduction Early mobilisation protocols after repair of extensor tendons in zone V and VI provide better outcomes than immobilisation protocols. This systematic review investigated different early active mobilisation protocols used after extensor tendon repair in zone V and VI. The purpose was to determine whether any one early active mobilisation protocol provides superior results. Methods...

Background: Techniques that allow early muscle activation, such as closed kinetic chain (CKC) and open kineticchain (OKC) exercises, may play a beneficial role in the early rehabilitation of the reconstructed knee. However,current rehabilitation regimens have not been shown to reverse post-operative quadriceps activation failureand weakness. To investigate whether patients who use a continuous ...

PURPOSE To systematically review various flexor tendon rehabilitation protocols and to contrast those using early passive versus early active range of motion. METHODS We searched PubMed and Cochrane Library databases to identify articles involving flexor tendon injury, repair, and rehabilitation protocols. All zones of injury were included. Articles were classified based on the protocol used ...
