First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether task-oriented exercises and mirror therapy can help people regain hand function after flexor tendon repair. 66 adults aged 18-45 will do specific hand tasks and use a mirror to trick the brain into thinking the injured hand is moving normally. The goal is to improve range of motion and daily hand use.
