Abstract

Background: Hand injuries are common and could have an impact on all upper limb functions. Engaging shoulder muscle training during the rehabilitation protocol postoperatively could have a significant impact on regaining all upper limb function. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of adding shoulder stabilization exercise to hand rehabilitation postoperatively.

Methods: Forty patients were randomly assigned to 2 equal groups. Group A received a standard physical therapy program plus shoulder exercise protocol and group B received only a standard physical therapy protocol for hand rehabilitation. Outcome measures were pain intensity; grip strength; Arabic modified Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire; and range of motion (ROM). All outcome measures were assessed before and after treatment.

Results: Statistical analysis revealed that both groups, the experimental and control, showed significant improvement in all outcome measures, but experimental group A showed significant improvement than the control group B posttreatment for hand grip strength, ROM, and QuickDASH questioners (P < .001).

Conclusion: Adding shoulder stabilizer muscle training to the hand rehabilitation protocol postoperatively has a significant impact on hand function outcomes.

在青壮年手部损伤术后康复中增加肩部稳定训练的效果。

背景：手部受伤很常见，可能会影响上肢的所有功能。在术后康复方案中加入肩部肌肉训练可对恢复上肢的所有功能产生重大影响。本研究旨在评估在术后手部康复中加入肩部稳定训练的效果：四十名患者被随机分配到两个相同的小组。A组接受标准理疗计划和肩部锻炼方案，B组仅接受标准理疗方案进行手部康复。结果测量指标包括疼痛强度、握力、阿拉伯语改良的手臂、肩部和手部残疾（QuickDASH）问卷以及活动范围（ROM）。所有结果均在治疗前后进行评估：统计分析表明，实验组和对照组在所有结果指标上都有明显改善，但实验组 A 在治疗后的手部握力、活动范围和 QuickDASH 问卷上的改善明显优于对照组 B（P < .001）：结论：在术后手部康复方案中加入肩部稳定肌训练对手部功能结果有显著影响。
