A Comparison between Two Intervals of Daily Total End Range Time for Treatment of Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Flexion Contracture Using an Elastic Tension Digital Neoprene Orthosis
Abstract:Focusing on fingers with proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contractures, this study seeks to determine whether significant differences exist between the joint passive range of motion PROM improvement when receiving higher doses of daily total end range time (TERT) compared to those that receive lower doses. The study randomized a parallel group of fifty-seven fingers in fifty patients with concealed allocation and assessor blinding. Divided into two groups receiving different doses of daily total end rang… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
