Abstract
Trigger finger or tenosyvitis stenosing is described as a condition wherethe finger tendon is locked at the time of movement from the flexion positiontoward the extension position. This is due to local inflammation or the presence ofswelling in the flexor tendon wrap that causes the wrapper can not normally flow.Signs and symptoms that arise is the presence of pain, the spasm M. FleksorDigitorum, decreased strength of M. Fleksor Digitorum, limitations of fingerjoints. Physiotherapy modalities used include: ultrasound, infra red and transversefriction.To know the benefits of therapy with ultrasound modality, infra red andtransverse friction in relieving pain, reducing spasm M. Flexor Digitorum,increasing muscle strength M. Flexor Digitorum, increasing the scope of fingerjoint motion. Management of physiotherapy on finger trigger conditions withultrasound, infrared, and transverse friction modalities.
 After receiving physiotherapy treatment (ultrasound, infra red and transferfriction) for 6 times the therapy was obtained: 1) Decreased the tenderness of theflexor tendon from T1: 5.1 cm to T6: 0.9 cm, 2) Increased scope of joint motion inthe left PIP II of T1: S = 20º-0º-30º to T6: S = 28º-0º-60º and MCP II T1: S = 10º0º-30ºto T6:S=14º-0º-59º,3)Increased strength of M.Flexor Digitorum on PIP II Sinistra from T1: 4 to T6: 5, 4) Decreased the spasm of M. Fleksor Digitorum from T1: 1 to T6: 0. Ultasound, infra red and transverse friction can reduce pain,reduce spasm M. Flexor Digitorum, increase strength M. Flexor Digitorum,increase the scope of joint motion.

Summary
Menimbulkan keterbatasan, maka hal ini mengakibatkan aktivitas sehari– hari akan terhambat. Fisioterapi sebagai salah satu pelaksanaan layanan kesehatan ikut berperan dan bertanggung jawab dalam peningkatan derajat kesehatan, terutama yang berkaitan dengan obyek disiplin ilmunya yaitu gerak dan fungsi. Untuk menangani permasalahan yang ada pada kondisi trigger finger banyak modalitas fisioterapi yang dapat digunakan, seperti US, MWD, TENS, manual terapi, paraffin bath dan lain-lain. Tetapi tidak semua modalitas tersebut efektif terhadap masalah yang terjadi, oleh sebab itu fisioterapi perlu mengetahui efektifitas dari treatment yang digunakan serta tujuan yag akan dicapai. Dan transverse friction dipilih oleh penulis sebagai modalitas yang efektif karena US memiliki efek bervariasi, US mampu mengurangi inflamasi dan membantu proses perbaikan jaringan (Myers, 2012), sedangkan infra red (IR) dapat mengurangi nyeri dan mengurangi spasme pada trigger finger dan transverse friction akan melepaskan perlengketan abnormal crosslink sehingga elastisitas jaringan akan kembali membaik sehingga kemampuan fungsional tangan diharapkan ikut meningkat
