Flexor Tendon Repair Early Active Motion Exercises  |  Technique Peek Series
Channel: Professional Seminars
Date: 2023-03-14

In this Technique Peek Series video, Joanna Spivack, an Occupational Therapist and Certified Hand Therapist, demonstrates two different protocols for rehabilitating Flexor Tendon Repair. These protocols are the Duran protocol and the Early Active Motion protocol.

The Duran protocol is a conservative approach that focuses on protecting the surgical repair site while gradually introducing movement to the affected area. This protocol involves immobilizing the injured hand in a splint for a period of time, followed by gentle passive exercises and eventually active exercises to promote range of motion.

On the other hand, the Early Active Motion protocol is a more aggressive approach that emphasizes early mobilization of the affected hand after surgery. This protocol involves immediate movement of the repaired tendon, with patients being instructed to perform a series of exercises on their own as soon as possible after surgery.

Both of these protocols are important in the rehabilitation of flexor tendon repair, as they help patients regain strength and range of motion in their injured hand. By following these protocols, patients can improve their chances of a successful recovery and return to their daily activities with minimal complications.
