Summary

Functional recovery measurement : Comparing early active mobilization versus immobilization after extensor tendon repair in zones IV to VIII.

Immobilization for six weeks has been the postoperative protocol for the patients with hand's extensor tendon repair in our institute. In this study early mobilization of the hand i.e. also an internationally followed way, is compared with the aforementioned immobilization protocol to see which turns out to be a better option in the interest of the patient.

Description

patients selection in both groups will be random by using close envolupe technique.

In group A ( immobilisation) physiotherapy will start by the end of 4th week and the upper limit of flexion would be 45 degrees.

In group B ( EAM) physiotherapy will start by the end of 1st week and the upper limit of flexion would be 30 degrees.
