Treatment and study plan

Virtual reality

Device

In addition to the routine hand rehabilitation programs for 4 weeks, 5 days, 40 minutes a day, 20 sessions (4 weeks, 5 days a week, 20 minutes) virtual reality based movement therapy program will be applied.

Routine Treatment

Behavioral

20 sessions (4 weeks, 5 days a week, 60 minutes) routine hand rehabilitation program will be applied.

Primary outcomes

  1. Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test

    Time frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

    Used to assess upper extremity functions. Activities are evaluated on a time basis.

  2. visual analog scale (VAS)

    Time frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

    marks the severity of pain between 0 and 10.

  3. duruöz hand index

    Time frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

    kitchen work, evaluates cleaning, workplace and other activities of daily living. The total score is between 0-90.

  4. Sammes Weinstein Monofilament Test (SWMT)

    Time frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

    sensory threshold is used for assessment.sensed monofilament values will be collected and recorded. The highest total score will be considered as 15.

  5. Questionnaire Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick DASH)

    Time frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

    activity participation level will be assessed by Q-DASH.Each question will be scored between 1-5 points (1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: medium difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: not at all). The total score will be recorded.

  6. Jamar dynamometer

    Time frame: from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

    Jamar dynamometer will be used for grip strength. 3 repetitive measurements will be made and the average will be recorded.(in kilograms)
