Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality-based motion therapy in peripheral nerve injuries in the hand.

Conditions

Peripheral Nerve Injury, Virtual Reality, Rehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test

  Used to assess upper extremity functions. Activities are evaluated on a time basis.

  from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

• visual analog scale (VAS)

  marks the severity of pain between 0 and 10.

  from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

• duruöz hand index

  kitchen work, evaluates cleaning, workplace and other activities of daily living. The total score is between 0-90.

  from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

• Sammes Weinstein Monofilament Test (SWMT)

  sensory threshold is used for assessment.sensed monofilament values will be collected and recorded. The highest total score will be considered as 15.

  from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

• Questionnaire Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick DASH)

  activity participation level will be assessed by Q-DASH.Each question will be scored between 1-5 points (1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: medium difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: not at all). The total score will be recorded.

  from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)

• Jamar dynamometer

  Jamar dynamometer will be used for grip strength. 3 repetitive measurements will be made and the average will be recorded.(in kilograms)

  from baseline to the end of the treatment (4 week)
