    In my rotation, we have treated a few stroke patients after BTX-A injections using splinting and a few other treatment methods. This article discovers the comparison of adhesive taping vs. daily manual muscle stretching and splinting after injections. A single-blind randomized control trail with 70 patients was conducted with patients experiencing wrist and finger flexor muscle spasticity post-stroke. After receiving the injections, patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group A consisted of adhesive taping. Adhesive taping is first placed on forearm and fingers and left for 10 days with daily checks. The tape provides traction on hypertonic muscles. Group B consisted of patient's receiving manual muscle stretching of injected muscles for 30 min and passive articular mobilization of wrist and fingers to maintain muscle length. Custom palmar splints with made for each patient and positioned for maximum stretching. Outcome measures used to to measure spasticity consisted of the Modified Ashworth scale, related disability with Disability Assessment Scale and finger positions at rest. At the end of the trial, it was discovered that patient in Group A, adhesive taping, had a significantly decrease in spasticity scores. Some limitations included lack of placebo group and longer follow-up data.

    This purpose of this study was to measure the gains in hand function during a 3 month rehab period for people with c5 injuries when wearing a static orthosis at night compared to individuals who did not wear the splint at night. They found that the there was no significant difference in hand function when wearing the splint. The conclusion of this study was that future studies need to examine if increased daily wear or longer period of time wearing the splint (more than the 3 month study) would allow splits to have more an effect on hand function. t

    This article discusses the treatments for trigger finger release which were splinting, corticosteroid injections, and surgery. The article discussed wearing a MCP blocking splint in 0 degrees for 3-6 weeks for different periods of time dependent upon therapist requests would be appropriate. Corticosteroid injections were preferred for immediate relief, however there is some debating going on for how many times you should get the steroid before it starts to have negative effects. Lastly, therapy should be started 10-14 days post-op for scar management post trigger finger release surgery. This articles also discusses the use of NSAIDs and cold therapy for management of symptoms for trigger finger. The articles goes onto discuss that choosing which treatment option should be based upon the severity, duration, and previous treatments given. This article helped me understand the different routes patients can take prior to coming to therapy after surgery.

    This purpose of this review was to identify interventions used for UE restoration after tetraplegia and what evidence was available to support the use/effectiveness of these interventions. The review found there there is not much evidence based research supporting the use of splints to increase UE restoration. However, there is good research backing up the prescription of electrical stimulation therapies and upper limb surgical interventions therapy individuals based on their specific phase of recovery and functional deficit.

    The functional outcome of a flexor tendon injury after repair depends on multiple factors. The postoperative management of tendon injuries has paved a sea through many mobilization protocols. The improved understanding of splinting techniques has promoted the understanding and implication of these mobilization protocols.
