Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The effects of exercises performed by telerehabilitation on individuals with hand-affected scleroderma on range of motion, grip strength, function, sensation, daily life activities and general health will be compared with the effects of traditional physiotherapy practices.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Telerehabilitation

Stretching and strengthening exercises, functional exercises, massage techniques, sensory training and breathing exercises will be applied to the patients via telerehabilitation for 3 sessions per week.
