The research objective is to evaluate the efficacy of video instructions compared to written or verbal instructions for early motion rehabilitation following hand flexor repair. The primary research question addresses whether video instructions improve compliance with early motion rehabilitation post-surgery compared to traditional methods. The hypothesis is that patients who receive video instructions are more likely to adhere to their rehabilitation regimen than those who receive verbal or written instructions.

Video Instrctions
Other interventionVideo instructions of rehabilitation techniques and movements to help with adherence and compliance to treatment.
Functional outcomes
Range of motion (i.e., using a goniometer)
Patient-reported outcomes
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Measuring distance from 1-100 millimeters. Higher scores indicate pain, whilst lower scores indicate less or no pain.
Compliance with Rehabilitation Protocol
Frequency of the early motion exercises (i.e., track how often the patients perform their rehabilitation exercises)
Functional Outcome
Grip strength (i.e., using a dynamometer)
Clinical outcomes
Complication rates: track the incidence of adhesions, re-ruptures, and infections.
Rehabilitation efficiency
Number of follow-up visits: compare the number of follow-up visits required for each group.
Cognitive outcome
Instruction comprehension: assess the understanding of the instructions through a quiz or verbal feedback.
Clinical Outcomes
Time to return to work: measure the time taken for patients to return to their usual activities or work.
