Conditions
Brief summary
Subjects sugically intervened of Carpal Tunnel Release are selected through consecutive sampling, concretely patients between the ages of 18 and 65, no more than 10 days after surgery. In the experimental condition subjects receive a sensorimotor-based Tablet app as a home-based form of rehabilitation, while in the control condition subjects receive the home exercise program on paper that is conventionally used in public hospital. The main hypothesis is that the use of ReHand is more effective than the conventional treatment used for home rehabilitation after Carpal Tunnel Release.
Interventions
In the experimental condition subjects receive ReHand Tablet app as a home-based form of rehabilitation. A 4-week home exercise intervention is performed, which has to be carried out daily by the patient autonomously at home for at least 5 days per week, starting after baseline measurement, and beginning no more than 10 days after removal of immobilization or surgical intervention. The exercises of the Tablet app program are specifically selected for rehabilitation after Carpal Tunnel Release an

A 4-week home exercise intervention is performed, which has to be carried out daily by the patient autonomously at home for at least 5 days per week, starting after baseline measurement, and beginning no more than 10 days after removal of immobilization or surgical intervention. The exercises of the Tablet app program are specifically selected for rehabilitation after Carpal Tunnel Release and last approximately 25 minutes per day. ReHand is a Tablet application (Android and iOS) which has a battery of specific exercises for the recovery after a trauma injury to be done touching the Tablet screen. The adherence to treatment is monitored through ReHand dashboard. Exercise example: Pinch exercise with the index finger, performing a controlled movement in a painless range guided by feedback during 25 seconds.
