Tape trick: simple sticky strip may boost hand healing after tendon repair

This study tests whether adding Kinesio Taping (a special elastic tape) to standard hand therapy can improve movement and strength after extensor tendon repair. About 36 adults with a specific finger tendon injury will be randomly assigned to get either real tape or a fake tape, and their hand function will be measured at 12 and 24 weeks. The goal is to see if the tape helps reduce stiffness and improve daily hand use.
