Study Description

Our study will be carried out on housewives who were operated by Pamukkale University Education, Application and Research Center Directorate Orthopedics and Traumatology and Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Services due to flexor tendon injury in the forearm or hand.

Patients will be evaluated at the 7th, 12th and 24th weeks post-operatively, before the start of the post-operative physiotherapy program.

The data obtained from the study will be analyzed with the PASW Statistics 18 Release 18.0.0 program. Whether the data fit the normal distribution will be determined using the Shapiro-Wilk test. If parametric conditions are not met, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Friedman Analysis of Variance will be used for intragroup comparisons, and Mann-Whitney U Test will be used for intergroup comparisons. Statistical significance level will be taken as p<0.05.

The physiotherapy program will start the post-operative first week for both group. Activity-based therapy group will have activity exercises that is meaningful for the patients, once a week one hour addition to the physiotherapy.

Patients to be included in groups were randomized in a single block order using Random Allocation Software 1.0.0.
