About this trial
Aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of a 4-week occupation-based exercise program given in addition to the conventional rehabilitation program on hand functions, range of motion, grip strength, pain and kinesiophobia in the post-operative rehabilitation of patients aged 18-65 years with zone 2 flexor tendon repair.
Expected results: To prove the effectiveness of occupation-based exercises in order to reduce the failure rates seen in the rehabilitation of zone 2 flexor tendon injuries, to increase patient compliance and motivation during the rehabilitation process, to improve functional outcomes by ensuring its inclusion in conventional treatment and to increase patient satisfaction.
