KT applications will be performed twice weekly between postoperative weeks 6 and 12, using three tapes in each session. New tapes will be applied in each session and replaced no later than 3 days after the previous application. Before each taping session, the application area will be properly cleaned.

Extensor tendon injuries in this region often lead to complications such as adhesion formation, reduced range of motion, extensor lag, and impaired hand function, despite standard rehabilitation approaches. Therefore, additional interventions that may enhance tendon gliding and neuromuscular control are of clinical interest.\n\nIn this double-blind randomized controlled trial, patients will be assigned to either a KT group or a sham taping control group. Both groups will receive a standardized postoperative rehabilitation program, while the intervention group will additionally receive KT applications between postoperative weeks 6 and 12. Outcome measures, including range of motion, grip and pinch strength, and functional hand performance, will be assessed at 12 and 24 weeks.\n\nThe study seeks to determine whether KT provides additional benefits beyond conventional rehabilitation in improving functional recovery after extensor tendon injuries, addressing an important gap in the current literature.",[72,73],"Extensor Tendons of Finger Anomalies","Tendon Injuries",[75,76,77],"Extensor tendon","Functional recovery","Extensor lag","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-04-28",{"date":81,"type":82},"2026-05-05","ACTUAL",{"date":84,"type":66},"2026-05-07",{"date":86,"type":66},"2027-06-07",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
