Fascial mobilization therapy: Patients in this group will receive training in myofascial release exercises in addition to the exercises in the control group. Similar to the control group, patients in this group will be asked to continue home exercises five times a week for eight weeks after their two-week treatment.The patients in the study group will receive the same treatment, twice a week for 12 weeks, with each session lasting 45 minutes.
conventional physiotherapy: Conservative treatment methods such as TENS, Hotpack and normal joint range of motion exercises and tendon gliding exercises and streching exercise will be applied twice a week for 12 weeks, with each session lasting 45 minutes.
Study summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of myofascial release exercises performed in the late period compared to classical physiotherapy training in individuals with hand flexor tendon repair.

Primary outcome measure(s)
The pain — through of the study, average 8 weeks Mc Gill Short Form will used to determine the type and severity of the pain. A short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) has been developed. The main component of the SF-MPQ consists of 15 descriptors (11 sensory; 4 affective) which are rated on an intensity scale as 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate or 3 = severe.
Grip strength — through of the study, average 8 weeks A hand dynamometer will be used to measure patients' grip strength. Grip strength is measured with the Jamar hand dynamometer, recommended by the American Association of Hand Therapists (AETD) and whose validity and reliability have been confirmed in numerous studies. This device is considered the gold standard for measuring hand grip strength. Measurements will be taken before and after treatment, and three times, 10 seconds apart. Each measurement will be taken at the same difficulty level. Generally, the average of the three measurements will be taken.
Hand skills — through of the study, average 8 weeks The Nine-Hole Peg test, used to assess manual dexterity, involves patients quickly removing nine wooden pegs from a storage box, placing them in random holes, then collecting them from the holes and returning them to the storage compartment. The time is measured in seconds using a stopwatch, and anything over 20 seconds is considered a "loss of skill."
Short form SF-36 Quality of life — through of the study, average 8 weeks Individuals' quality of life will be assessed using short form 36 (SF-36). SF-36 is a 36-question scale consisting of physical function, physical role, emotional role, pain, vitality, general health, and mental health subscales.
