Resumen :
Introducción: las lesiones tendinosas alteran la funcionalidad de las personas, por ello el terapeuta
ocupacional hace un gran papel en este tipo de casos.
Objetivos (abreviados):
Fase 1: deslizar tendón, reparar tendón/ cicatrización piel, controlar dolor/ edema, evitar roturas
tendinosas/rigid... Ver más
Introduction: Tendon injuries change people life funtionality, for this reason Occupational
Therapists have an important role in that cases.
Objectives (Summarised):
Phase 1: tendon slide, tendon repair/ skin heal., pain/edema control, tendon damage and joint
stiffness prevent.
Phase 2: Tendon activation, muscular/tendon re-education. ADL Independence, sensitive disorder
prevent.
Phase 3: Hand strenght increase, flex range increase, hand extension increase, 5th claw finger
remove.
Method:
Medical singular intervention, in this case a 23 years old man suffer an injury on the palmar side of
his right hand, affecting the ulnar nerve and deep flexor tendons of the third, fourth and fifth finger
and the superficial flexor tendon of the third finger.
Theorical Guide: Kabat, biomechanical and MOHO.
Evaluation: Observation, measurement instruments, escales and patient interview.
Intervention: 3 phases. Two sesions per week, 50 minutes/sesión. Organitation: Muscular
activation, hidrotherapy, pasive movilitation, active and sensorial movilitation, muscular relaxy*
and feedback.
Results:
Range of movement: He did not make any movement. Currently:
Movement percentage:
Flexing exercise:
Proximal: 100%
Medial: 70-78%
Distal: 28-37%
Extension:
Proximal: 100%
Medial: 86-97%
Distal: 89-94%
Strenght: He had no strenght. Currently 37K.
Sensitivity: Hypersensitivity with some textures. Currently, a few problems in ulnar zone.
ADL: In the majority of ADL dependent. Currently independent.
Conclusions:
Intervention should be guided by tendinous recovery, making treatment adherence, continuous
evaluation, evolution and functional gain possible. Occupational therapy brings benefits.
