Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A randomized controlled trial will be realized. 40 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two rehabilitation protocols. Each participant will be evaluated at four times (initial evaluation, final evaluation and 2 follow-up evaluations). Data on motor and functional recovery will be collected.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A randomized controlled trial will be realized. 40 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two rehabilitation protocols. Each participant will be evaluated at four times (initial evaluation, final evaluation and 2 follow-up evaluations). The independent variable of this study is the intensity of the rehabilitation protocol (BRIEF or INTENSE). The primary dependent variable is the functional abilities to perform activities of daily living. The secondary dependent variables are the following : digits range of motion, pain, grip and pinch strengths, as well as tactile sensibility.
The BRIEF PROTOCOL consists of 4 intervention sessions with an occupational therapist specialized in hand therapy that will occur at 0-3 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks post-fasciectomy. The occupational therapist will give recommendations about the management of swelling, wound care and functional recovery. An home exercises program will be given to the participant. Finally, an extension splint that must be worn at night until the third month after surgery will be made at the first session. The INTENSE PROTOCOL consists of 6 intervention sessions with an occupational therapist specialized in hand therapy that will occur at 0-3 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks after surgery. The occupational therapist will give recommendations about the management of swelling, wound care and functional recovery. An home exercises program will be given to the participant. An extension splint that must be worn at night until the third month after surgery will be made at the first session. Also, exercises will be performed by the patient under the supervision of the occupational therapist (supervised exercises) in each session except the first one at 0-3 days after surgery.
Statistical analyses will take into account the moderate size of our sample (n=40) and the independence of the two groups. Descriptive statistics and Shapiro-Wilk test will be used to evaluate if variables follow the normal distribution. If the normal distribution is confirmed, repeated measure ANOVA will be used to compare the 2 groups. If not, Mann-Whitney test will be used (non-parametric test). Pearson correlation coefficient (parametric) or Spearman correlation coefficient (non-parametric) will be used to analyze the relationships between variables (secondary aim of the study).

Brief protocol
4 intervention sessions with the occupational therapist of 30 minutes duration.
Brief protocol
This protocol consists of 4 intervention sessions with an occupational therapist specialized in hand therapy that will occur at 0-3 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks post-fasciectomy. The occupational therapist will give recommendations about the management of swelling, wound care and functional recovery. An home exercises program will be given to the participant. The occupational therapist will make an extension splint that should be worn at night for the 3 months following surgery.
Intense Protocol
6 intervention sessions with the occupational therapist of 60 minutes duration.
Intense protocol
This protocol consists of 6 intervention sessions with an occupational therapist specialized in hand therapy that will occur at 0-3 days, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks after surgery. The occupational therapist will give recommendations about the management of swelling, wound care and functional recovery. An home exercises program will be given to the participant.
