AIMS & OBJECTIVES : To compare the efficacy of BFB over tenodesis splint for functional tenodesis training in S.C.I.
patients with level C5-6.
METHODOLOGY
Design : Experimental different/between subject design
Apparatus : BFB instrument, Tenodesis splint, Palmar roll, Items for testing Functional Tenodesis Grip, Functional Independence
Measure scale
Procedure : 30 patients were taken & baseline evaluation done. The subjects were then divided into two groups namely group
A & B. With group A Biofeedback & group B tenodesis splint was used. Evaluation was done at 3 weeks interval.
RESULT : Statistical analysis done & P value was found to be significant. Although Both Biofeedback & Tenodesis splint were
effective, but Biofeedback proved to be more effective in achieving functional use of tenodesis grip & independence in ADL
CONCLUSION : Biofeedback is more effective over Tenodesis splint for functional tenodesis training in spinal cord injury
patients with level C5-6.HTML>
