ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of systemic rehabilitation on stiffness of finger joints after hand injury. Methods A total of 213 stiff fingers were observed in patients with hand injury. All the patients were administered with therapeutic exercise, physical modalities and splinting. The improvement of the patients in terms of active range of motion (AROM) and passive range of motion (PROM) of their fingers was graded as excellent, good, adequate or poor according to the standard the authors set. Results With regard to their AROM and PROM, 82.2% and 94.8% of the patients got excellent improvement, 97.7% and 100% of the patients got excellent to adequate improvement, respectively. The finger function was increased from 17% to 56%. Conclusion Systemic rehabilitation can increase the AROM and PROM of stiff finger effectively and improve the patients' hand function.
