Flexor Tendon Repair Early Active Motion Exercises | Technique Peek Series
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- In this Technique Peek Series video, Joanna Spivack, an Occupational Therapist and Certified Hand Therapist, demonstrates two different protocols for rehabilitating Flexor Tendon Repair. These protocols are the Duran protocol and the Early Active Motion protocol.
The Duran protocol is a conservative approach that focuses on protecting the surgical repair site while gradually introducing movement to the affected area. This protocol involves immobilizing the injured hand in a splint for a period of time, followed by gentle passive exercises and eventually active exercises to promote range of motion.
On the other hand, the Early Active Motion protocol is a more aggressive approach that emphasizes early mobilization of the affected hand after surgery. This protocol involves immediate movement of the repaired tendon, with patients being instructed to perform a series of exercises on their own as soon as possible after surgery.
Both of these protocols are important in the rehabilitation of flexor tendon repair, as they help patients regain strength and range of motion in their injured hand. By following these protocols, patients can improve their chances of a successful recovery and return to their daily activities with minimal complications.

I had a tendon surgery 2 month ago on my ring finger. I still cant bend even tip of finger or any section a bit. However I can move finger straight backwards and forward only. Is this normal ? Or has my tendon got pulled apart as I heard it happens in some case. Please help me.
P S: I can feel my finger completely though.
Can you have tendon repair surgery years after an injury?
Tendon repair surgery can indeed be performed years after the initial injury, although it is generally recommended to address it as soon as possible. Remember to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice based on your specific situation. 😊
@@ProfessionalSeminars Got it 📝 thank you!

We recommend that you consult with your surgeon or your Certified Hand Therapist, as they will be able to provide you with the best course of action. Best of luck with your recovery.
@@ProfessionalSeminars I can't even do a fist after a month they won't let me remove my splint
@@ProfessionalSeminars I'm afraid that I can no longer use my ring and pinky fingers they said don't massage your fingers until 4 weeks
Tendon repairs need to be protected so that they have the proper amount of time to heal. This is why the splint is provided and prob why they emphasized not massaging it to make sure the repair remains intact until it finally heals properly before introducing stresses through the tissue. @@LionelMessi-gs2qo
