This document discusses hand therapy rehabilitation for extensor tendons. It outlines key principles including patient education, wound healing, splinting techniques, and continuous evaluation. Static splinting is compared to dynamic/mobilizing splints. Different zones of the hand require specific splinting protocols to balance rest and range of motion. The goal of treatment is to achieve functional balance and allow full flexion while stabilizing the hand.

13. Different splints and methods

17. Wants function, but no surgery

18. Function depends on a balance between flexion and extension

20. Functional outcome: balance, position, stabilise, allow full flexion, open the hand in order to grasp and release objects.
