Stage-Specific Recovery Changes in the International Classification of Functioning Components Following Conservative Rehabilitation of Trigger Finger

August 26, 2021 updated by: Cigdem Ayhan, Hacettepe University
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of conservative rehabilitation on the multi-dimensional health components based on WHO ICF model in Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 trigger finger and to determine the functional recovery patterns of each dimension during a three-month rehabilitation period. Thirty-four patients were participated in the study.
