Each flexor tendon in the hand goes through a Pulley system which consists of fibrous sheaths making the tendon gliding smooth and mechanically sound function. If the pulley system is damaged the ...

Tendon grafting can restore function in a hand that has a loss of flexor action provided there is good circulation, normal joint function and normal sensation in the affected finger.

This exercise proves particularly valuable after hand injuries or surgery when scar tissue might restrict normal tendon gliding.

Normally, the sheath releases tenosynovial fluid that facilitates the gliding of the tendon during movement.

Early mobilization after tendon repair has been found to be beneficial, resulting in increased tensile strength and improved tendon gliding.

Narrowing of the fibro-osseous tunnel caused a statistically significant decrease in tendon gliding and ultimate breaking strength when compared with the other experimental groups.

This article looks at the definition and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and gives instructions to perform hand exercises and stretches to help relieve pain.

Nerve- and tendon-gliding exercises Doctors may refer a person to a specialized hand therapist who can teach nerve- and tendon-gliding techniques to complete at home.

Tendon healing status and adhesion score After testing the gliding excursion, we carefully dissected the toes and observed the healing status and adhesion formation. In the control tendons, the ...

NORTH PORT — A Florida man spent his first hang-gliding ride dangling precariously from a control bar and the pilot’s leg after the pilot forgot to strap him in. North Port resident Chris ...

THIS is the terrifying moment a first-time hang glider desperately clings on for life after the pilot forgot to attach him to the craft. The heart-stopping footage shows US holidaymaker Chris Gurks… ...
