A1 Pulley Stretching and Tendon Gliding Exercises for Post-operative Trigger Finger Patients: Impact on Pain, Range of Motion, and Hand Grip Strength

This study focuses on individuals who have undergone surgery for trigger finger, a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the fingers or thumb. The main goal is to understand how a combination of A1 pulley stretching and tendon gliding exercises can impact pain, flexibility, and hand grip strength in these patients. The importance of this study lies in its potential to improve rehabilitation strategies for post-operative trigger finger patients, helping them regain normal hand function more effectively. Participants in this study will engage in A1 pulley stretching and tendon gliding exercises. The effectiveness of these exercises will be measured using three tools: a hand dynamometer to assess hand grip strength, a Numeric Pain Rating Scale to evaluate pain levels, and a universal goniometer to gauge the range of motion in the affected finger. These measurements will provide insights into the recovery progress of the patients, helping to determine the benefits and potential drawbacks of the combined exercise regimen.
