Managing the injured tendon: Current concepts
2012, Journal of Hand TherapyCitation Excerpt :The therapist should consider the published values of load to gapping of the different combined core and peripheral sutures and then adjust the applied load with early-motion protocols in accordance with the specific repair (as reported by the surgeon) on which they are working. Internal tendon forces are increased by the resistance of the suture material,82 pulleys,132 periarticular soft tissues, edema and inflammation associated with wound healing,31,119 the antagonistic muscle–tendon system, joint angle,24,48,116 external load,48 and the speed of exercise.95,119,133 These elements define the WOF.

2005, Journal of Hand TherapyCitation Excerpt :Peacock and Madden128,129 attempted to create “controlled lathyrism” with oral or topically applied beta-aminopropionitrile with varying degrees of success. Amiel et al.,130 Frykman et al.,131 Hagberg and Gerdin,132 Hagberg and Selvik,133 Porat et al.,134 Salti et al.,135 and St. Onge et al.136 have evaluated various forms of hyaluronate (sodium hyaluronate or hyaluronic acid), topically enriched collagen solutions, and fibrin sealants. Although some of these compounds have demonstrated laboratory or clinical usefulness, none have found their way into widespread clinical usage.

2005, Journal of Hand TherapyCitation Excerpt :The importance of these three studies cannot be overstated. In recent experimental trials, clinical investigators have focused on increasing the magnitude of tendon excursion in contrast to in vivo force.16,17,52–55 In an effort to increase the magnitude of tendon excursion and reduce in vivo force clinically, Silfverskiold et al.56 recommended a modification of the technique in which digits are mobilized.
