2. 1. Intrasynovial flexor tendon injuries and repair

   Author : Sara Edsfeldt; Monica Wiig; Kenneth Jonsson; Lars Adolfsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Complications after surgical repair of intrasynovial flexor tendon injuries in the hand occur despite advanced suture techniques and structured postoperative rehabilitation regimens. Early controlled tendon mobilization prevents adhesion formations and improves tendon healing as well as digit range of motion. READ MORE

4. 2. Flexor tendon repair : rehabilitation adherence, outcome and complications

   Author : Jonas Svingen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Flexor tendon injuries in the finger (zones 1 and 2) are problematic due to high rates of both rupture of the repair and of soft tissue adhesions resulting in poor range of motion. Both complications often result in reoperations and worse outcome of the injury. Rehabilitation after flexor tendon repair is a balancing act for the patient. READ MORE

5. 3. A Helping Hand : On Innovations for Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology

   Author : Mats Nilsson; Hans von Holst; Metin Akay; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hand function; Mechatronic system; Orthose; Neurological rehabilitation; Brain-Computer Interface; Functional Electric Stimulation;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on assistive and rehabilitation technology for restoring the function of the hand. It presents three different approaches to assistive technology: one in the form of an orthosis, one in the form of a brain-computer interface combined with functional electrical stimulation and finally one totally aiming at rehabilitating the nervous system by restoring brain function using the concept of neuroplasticity.
