NCT ID NCT07290348
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a custom dynamic hand splint helps improve hand movement after surgery to repair torn extensor tendons. Forty adults aged 20-40 with tendon injuries in zones 5 or 6 participated. After three weeks of wearing a static splint, one group used the dynamic splint during the day for two months, while the other group did not. Researchers measured wrist and finger joint range of motion before treatment, after one month, and at the end.
