On commencing occupational therapy (OT), some patients with a hand orthopaedic injury complain that they do not know how to move the affected finger
Aim/Objective: We report a patient who did not know how to move his finger on commencing OT after an operation for a metacarpal fracture of the left thumb
The Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was highest in Task B (i.e., Mirror therapy (MT)), followed by CBF in Task C and Task A (Table 1)
Summary
On commencing occupational therapy (OT), some patients with a hand orthopaedic injury complain that they do not know how to move the affected finger. Yusuke Suzuki is an associate Professor in Occupational therapy at the Shonan University of Medical Sciences. He has more than 15 years of experience in clinical occupational therapy working as clinician. His research interest is motor imagery in patients with a hand orthopaedic injury. On commencing occupational therapy (OT), some patients with hand orthopaedic injury complain of not knowing how to move an affected finger. Aim/Objective: We report a patient who did not know how to move his finger on commencing OT after an operation for a metacarpal fracture of the left thumb. Conclusions: Mirror therapy may help patients regain motor imagery sooner. Significance: We will conduct further studies to assess the effect of MT on patients who undergo hand surgery
