Purpose of the Study: This retrospective study compares two groups of patients who underwent digital tenolysis
(and/or capsulectomy) and evaluates their postoperative therapeutic management. One
group of patients used continuous passive motion (CPM) machines in addition to their
home exercise program. The second group of patients did not use CPM machines in addition
to their home exercise program. Both groups of patients attended regularly scheduled
hand therapy sessions.

Short Description: Continuous passive motion (CPM) is often used in hand therapy following tenolysis despite the lack of clinical outcome studies. This retrospective study examines two groups of patients and compares the results of their postoperative management. One group used CPM following tenolysis; the other group did not. Outcome measures include total active motion, duration of treatment, and number of therapy visits.
