Description

This case study aims to determine the efficacy of casting motion to mobilize stiffness to improve proximal interphalangeal joint stiffness and motion. The participant used in the study had suffered lacerations to tendon, ligament, volar capsule and the digital nerve in three fingers and presented three months after his injury with severe restrictions in active and passive joint motion, joint stiffness and an intrinsic dominant movement pattern. Baseline measurements of active motion, torque r...
