Comparative Evaluation of Early Passive Mobilization and Early Active Mobilization in Post Repair Flexor Tendon Injuries Zone 2 and 3 of Hand
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Objective: To compare early passive mobilization and early active mobilization in post repair Flexor Tendon Injuries (FTI) zone 2 and 3 of hand. Study Design: - A prospective randomized design. Methods: - 40 subjects with zone 2 and 3 post repair FTI were randomly allocated to early passive mobilization and early active mobilization groups. Digit/s total IP joint ROM was measured as outcome measure at 3rd postoperative day (POD) and at end of 6th week for comparison. Results: - Statistical analysis showed significant gain in total IP joint ROM in early active mobilization group (106.31) than early passive mobilization group (86.84) at the end of 6th week. Conclusions: - Early active mobilization is more effective than early passive mobilization in post repair FTI Zone 2 and 3 of hand.
