?1) Carpal Tunnel Syndrome after surgery
CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome) is the most common entrapment mononeuropathy?. For severe cases, hand surgery intervention is often recommended, along with early hand therapy.
In the clinical case we shared the case of a patient surgically managed with an open carpal tunnel release and her early rehabilitation start using the ReHand App. Over time, a significant improvement in functional ability, pain, and grip strength was observed using QuickDASH questionnaire and Dynamometer, among other outcomes.

This case is not unique. Our study by ??Suero-Pineda et al. in 2023, published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation ACRM | American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine , showed the positive impact of this technology on clinical outcomes and healthcare resources saving after recruiting more thant 600 patients with bone and soft tissue injuries!!!!
??2) Exercises for Thumb OA
Exercises targeting the intrinsic and abductor muscles of the thumb can help alleviate pain and reverse functional disability associated with thumb #osteoarthritis .
Here are 5 top exercises we recommend:

??3) Subacromial Syndrome and AI?
Shoulder pain is common and often associated with subacromial syndrome or rotator cuff problems. While surgery was once thought to be the solution, it is now recognized that therapeutic exercise is more effective.
Clinical guidelines suggest home exercise programs, therapeutic education, and self-care strategies. But customizing these programs can be complicated and time-consuming. Artificial intelligence, like ChatGPT, can assist in this process, from diagnosis to prescribing exercises and questionnaires.
We assist you in this process!

??5) Tennis Elbow Diagnosis
The number of potential pathologies causing pain on the lateral aspect of the elbow is enormous. A precise diagnosis is crucial to determine the source of the pain and apply a proper treatment.
Here are some well-known tests for diagnosing lateral epicondyle pain of tendon origin!
??Cozen Test
??Mill Test
??Maudsley Test
??Thomsen Test

??6) 100% adherence to exercise in 14 points !!!
Exercise is the new multi-pill to treat and prevent a multitude of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and mental pathologies. However, we are faced with the problem of #adherence to exercise: patients often abandon their treatment.
??We bring you 14 points to get your patients to adhere to their treatment regimen!
??Learn how to apply those 14 points with different examples and explanations in our blog!!
