Clinical Implications of Cerebral Reorganisation after Primary Digital Flexor Tendon Repair
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 09/01/09
Coert JH et al. – This article describes five patients to demonstrate the cerebral consequences of immobilisation allowing only passive movements, which implies a prolonged absence of actual motor commands. At the end of such immobilisation, PET imaging revealed reduced blood flow in specific motor areas, associated with temporary loss of efficient motor control. Effective motor control was regained after active flexion exercises which was reflected in normalised cerebral activations.
