HAND EXERCISES AFTER TRIGGER FINGER RELEASE SURGERY HELP PATIENTS REGAIN MOBILITY AND FUNCTION

Fitbeast, a leading provider of healthcare solutions, is pleased to announce the introduction of a comprehensive hand exercise program designed to aid in the rehabilitation of patients who have undergone trigger finger release surgery. These specific exercises have been developed by experienced hand therapists and are proven to help patients regain mobility, strength, and functionality in their fingers following surgery.
HAND EXERCISES AFTER TRIGGER FINGER RELEASE SURGERY HELP PATIENTS REGAIN MOBILITY AND FUNCTION
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition characterized by the inflammation and narrowing of the tendons in the fingers, leading to discomfort, pain, and a sensation of locking or catching when trying to bend or straighten the affected finger. Trigger finger release surgery is a common and effective treatment option performed to alleviate the symptoms of this condition.

Hand therapy plays a crucial role in the post-operative care of trigger finger release surgery patients, as it helps to maximize surgical outcomes and restore hand function. Under the guidance of certified hand therapists, patients are introduced to a range of hand exercises tailored to their specific needs and stage of recovery. These exercises are designed to improve range of motion, increase finger and hand strength, promote healing, reduce swelling, and prevent complications such as stiffness and adhesions.

The hand exercise program offered by Fitbeast focuses on educating patients about the importance of exercise compliance and ensuring they understand the correct techniques for each exercise. The program comprises a combination of stretching, flexibility, and strengthening exercises that are systematically progressed as the patient's hand recovers. These exercises may include:

1. Finger Range of Motion Exercises: These exercises aim to increase the flexibility and mobility in the finger joints. They involve gentle bending and straightening of the fingers at varying angles.

2. Gripping and Pinching Exercises: These exercises are designed to enhance hand strength and coordination. They may involve the use of therapy putty, hand grippers, or squeezing soft objects.

3. Tendon Gliding Exercises: These exercises gently move the tendons along their natural paths, helping to reduce swelling, promote healing, and prevent adhesions. They are particularly effective for patients with scar tissue formation.

4. Scar Massage and Mobilization: Specific techniques are employed to reduce scar tissue formation and promote proper scar healing. This helps improve the overall function and appearance of the hand.

Throughout the hand exercise program, certified hand therapists monitor patients' progress closely, making necessary adjustments to accommodate their changing needs. These professionals also provide guidance on pain management, activity modification, and the use of appropriate orthotics or splints, if required.

"Fitbeast understands the importance of comprehensive hand therapy in the recovery process for patients who have undergone trigger finger release surgery," says Fitbeast. "Our program has been specifically developed to address the unique needs and challenges faced by these patients, aiming to optimize their hand function and improve their overall quality of life."

Patients who have undergone trigger finger release surgery are encouraged to consult with their healthcare providers about incorporating a specialized hand exercise program into their post-operative care plan. With the help of these exercises and the expertise of certified hand therapists, patients can expect to regain the mobility, strength, and functionality of their hand faster, allowing them to return to their everyday activities with confidence and comfort.
