Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
MIRROR
Early sensory reeducation group, started at the first week postoperatively, using specific guidelines using the mirror training and stimulation of the contralateral side. Initially, the stimulation will be unilateral and later bilateral, after the removal of the splint in 4 weeks.
Training with a mirror
Early sensory reeducation group, started at the first week postoperatively, using specific guidelines using the mirror training and stimulation of the contralateral side. Initially, the stimulation will be unilateral and later bilateral, after the removal of the splint in 4 weeks.
Home program
The classical group iniciates after 16 weeks postoperatively and follow a standard home protocol for sensory reeducation. It begins with recognition of textures and objects, and specific rehabilitation, if any associated injuries.
No mirror therapy
The classical group iniciates after 16 weeks postoperatively and follow a standard home protocol for sensory reeducation without the mirror. It begins with recognition of textures and objects, and specific rehabilitation, if any associated injuries.
