Abstract
Background:Therapy employing passive finger flexion and active finger extension with the wrist fixed in flexion is commonly used after flexor tendon repair. However, this method of rehabilitation may not produce full tendon excursion because of buckling of the tendon within its sheath with passive fKeywords
