Brief Summary

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

The aim of our study is to determine the effect of activity-based intervention on the activity, participation levels and kinesiophobia (fear of movement) of the patients by evaluating the person, environment and activity using the Person-Environment-Occupation model (PEO) in the rehabilitation of hand forearm flexor tendon injuries.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Our study will be carried out on housewives who were operated by Pamukkale University Education, Application and Research Center Directorate Orthopedics and Traumatology and Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Services due to flexor tendon injury in the forearm or hand.

Patients will be evaluated at the 7th, 12th and 24th weeks post-operatively, before the start of the post-operative physiotherapy program.

The data obtained from the study will be analyzed with the PASW Statistics 18 Release 18.0.0 program. Whether the data fit the normal distribution will be determined using the Shapiro-Wilk test. If parametric conditions are not met, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Friedman Analysis of Variance will be used for intragroup comparisons, and Mann-Whitney U Test will be used for intergroup comparisons. Statistical significance level will be taken as p\<0.05.

The physiotherapy program will start the post-operative first week for both group. Activity-based therapy group will have activity exercises that is meaningful for the patients, once a week one hour addition to the physiotherapy.

Patients to be included in groups were randomized in a single block order using Random Allocation Software 1.0.0.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

randomised-controlled trial group 1 (get only physiotherapy) After flexor tendon repair patients start getting physiotherapy. They use static dorsal splint.

exercises are progressive according to the healing process. Physiotherapy lasts 12 weeks. then follow-up sixth months.

group 2 (get both physiotherapy and activity-based therapy) After flexor tendon repair patients start getting physiotherapy. They use static dorsal splint.

exercises are progressive according to the healing process. Physiotherapy lasts 12 weeks. then follow-up sixth months. Additionally group 2 gets activity-based therapy once a week about an hour. activities are also progressive according to the patients needs.

Study Groups

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

group 1

group 1 (get only physiotherapy) After flexor tendon repair patients start getting physiotherapy. They use static dorsal splint.

exercises are progressive according to the healing process. Physiotherapy lasts 12 weeks. Then follow-up sixth months.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

physiotherapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients get physiotherapy intervention after the surgery. exercises are progressive. sessions start passive range of motion exercises for 5 weeks while they are using a static dorsal splint. then splints are removed and patients start active range of motion exercises. and exercises progress to blocking, tendon gliding and resistive exercises.

group 2

group 2 (get both physiotherapy and activity-based therapy) After flexor tendon repair patients start getting physiotherapy. They use a static dorsal splint.

Exercises are progressive according to the healing process. Physiotherapy lasts 12 weeks. then follow-up sixth month. Additionally, group 2 gets activity-based therapy once a week about an hour. activities are also progressive according to the patients needs.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

physiotherapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients get physiotherapy intervention after the surgery. exercises are progressive. sessions start passive range of motion exercises for 5 weeks while they are using a static dorsal splint. then splints are removed and patients start active range of motion exercises. and exercises progress to blocking, tendon gliding and resistive exercises.

activity-based therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

patients get from the seventh week to the twelfth week an activity-based therapy. Activities are diverse according to the patient's needs. activities have therapeutic efficacy for improving range of motion, tendon gliding and strength.
