When a person has a tendon injury in the hand that impedes the ability to flex or extend the hand properly and safely, he or she likely will have a challenging time finishing daily tasks, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, going to the bathroom, and doing chores at home and at work. Each injury is different and the rate of recovery varies on the injuries’ severity.

Occupational Therapists specializing in hand therapy can implement rehabilitation intervention that enables the hand to properly function and avoid further damage.
