Therapist Considerations in Flexor Tendon Management

Course overview

Therapists are tasked with making a multitude of decisions during the rehabilitation of patients post flexor tendon repair. They must choose appropriate orthotic devices, create exercise programs, and prescribe home programs to increase therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, they must understand techniques that can help patients be more successful in their therapeutic outcomes. In this course, practitioners will learn how to advance exercise regimes based on patient presentation if adhesions develop. They will also learn how to differentiate between two different orthoses based on patient characteristics. Finally, they will be made aware of the latest evidence to enhance patient compliance with home exercise programs.
