1 – Tendon gliding exercises 2 DIPJ and PIPJ Blocking Exercises 3 – Active FDS Gliding

Isolated FDS Glide Holding all other fingers back as shown, gently bend the target finger as far as it will go comfortably. Do not strain the finger. The tip of the finger will not bend and that is normal. Hold 3 seconds. Repeat 5-10 times. Do 3 times a day. Tendon Gliding Move from one position into the next. Hold 3 seconds. Repeat 5-10 times.

Flexor tendons depend on glide between the tendon and surrounding structures and also between FDS and FDP themselves. DIP joint flexion, with the PIP stabilised into extension, inactivates FDS and produces gliding of FDP on FDS and it’s surrounding tissues.

2016年12月12日 · An injury to the hand or finger can result in increased swelling, scar formation and adhesion, which limits the tendon glide, and ultimately affects joint range of motion, loss of strength, decreased coordination and reduced ability to use your hand. Here we take a look at some helpful tendon gliding excercises.

Place/hold for hook, full and straight fist with wrist extended. Place hold for isolated FDS glide of involved digits. Place/hold exercises should be done with gentle tension only. Avoid muscle co-contraction by patient during place hold exercises. Convert …

Goal: Protect flexor tendon repairs to prepare for functional use of hand while improving tendon glide, avoiding gapping or rupture and limiting adhesions. Precautions: No passive wrist extension beyond 0̊ for zones 4-5 if median or ulnar nerves were …

• Isolated active FDS glide of unaffected fingers Exercises should be performed every 2 hours, 10-15 repetitions • Passive digit flexion with active digit extension • Passive MCP flexion with A/PROM IP extension • Passive (or gravity assisted wrist flexion, followed by active extension to orthotic limits (tenodesis exercise)

fds glides: • Bend each finger down at the middle joint (PIP) one at a time as seen in the picture. • Your may feel pain at the wrist or forearm, this is expected with this exercise.
