简要总结
Background Patients with the same type of hand injury often reach different functional levels. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate what kind of rehabilitation is most efficient for each individual patient.
Research has shown that a person's "Sense of Coherence" (SOC) affects how he /she deals with disease. Furthermore, SOC can help predict final outcomes after orthopedic injuries and should therefore; be taken into consideration when planning rehabilitation. It was concluded in a study that patients with a weak SOC who have had a hand injury, may benefit from extra support to manage their everyday activities in order to reach the same final outcome as patients with a strong SOC.
Purpose To investigate two types of rehabilitation on patients with a hand-related injury (joint mobility exercises vs. activity-based training and joint mobility exercises) and to investigate whether SOC can be used as an indicator of which patients would benefit from activity-based training.
Hypotheses
- Patients with a hand-related injury will benefit from activity-based training in their rehabilitation program.
- Patients with a weak SOC will achieve the best functional level, if activity-based training is included in their rehabilitation program.
- Patients with a strong SOC will not achieve a higher functional level, if activity-based training is included in their rehabilitation program.
Study design Randomised control trial. Methods Four-hundred-twenty- patients age 18 years or older are included when referred to specialized outpatient occupational therapy after a hand-related injury. To ensure sufficient and balanced patient variation in relation to pre-rehabilitation sense of coherence, a balanced randomisation principle has been implemented.
Data will be collected through questionnaires. The questionnaires measure SOC (13 items version), function (DASH), quality of life (EQ5D) and satisfaction.
All participants will perform joint mobility exercises which are appropriate for their injury. In addition, participants who will be performing activity-based training will train with specific meaningful activities which they performed prior to the hand-related injury.
Clinical relevance The knowledge obtained will be incorporated into the planning of occupational therapy rehabilitation services for this patient group, so that the patients will receive the most optimal conditions in which to achieve their previous level of function after a hand injury.
