Abstract

While patient compliance with hand therapy intuitively seems important to the outcome of treatment, no formal study has validated this assumption. The records of 44 patients who sustained mallet finger injuries were examined retrospectively. Compliance ratings were based on self-reports of performance with home programs and attendance at therapy appointments. Results of therapy were divided into excellent, good, or poor groups depending on the patient's final range of motion and final active extension lag at the distal interphalangeal joint. Statistical analysis reveals that compliant patients have excellent outcomes more often than do noncompliant patients (61.5% and 9.1%, respectively) in the treatment for mallet finger injuries. While increased age may negatively affect the final result of mallet finger injuries, an older individual can favorably influence his or her result by choosing to be compliant with treatment. Even patients who delay initiation of treatment can achieve favorable results.

  • The association between the number of logins and outcomes in e-therapies targeting physical health is similar to the positive relationship observed between session attendance and outcome in physical rehabilitation and to the dose-response curve seen in medication therapy.

    “The association between the number of logins and outcomes in e-therapies targeting physical health is similar to the positive relationship observed between session attendance and outcome in physical rehabilitation [67-70] and to the dose–response curve seen in medication therapy.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
