Comparison of two relative motion extension approaches (RME with versus without an additional overnight orthosis) following zones V-VI extensor tendon repairs: A randomized equivalence trial.

Study Design: Multi--center randomized controlled trial with two intervention parallel groups. An equivalence trial.

Introduction: Relative motion extension (RME) orthoses are widely used in the postoperative management of finger extensor tendon repairs in zones V-VI.

Targeted sensorimotor retraining in the clinical setting: Improving patient outcomes following distal upper extremity injury.

Background: Existing theoretical evidence indicates sensorimotor retraining is beneficial following wrist injury. However, there are no large cohort studies applying the knowledge in a clinical setting.

Purpose Of The Study: To Determine the clinical benefits of sensorimotor rehabilitation following distal upper extremity injury.
