What this Trial Is About
The purpose of this feasibility pilot study is to determine the effectiveness of Relative Motion Orthosis (RMO) in regaining finger range of motion compared to standard care in patients diagnosed with Proximal Interphalangeal (PIP) stiffness with an extension lag secondary to finger injury. Participants will be enrolled and randomized into groups receiving either standard conservative interventions or standard interventions in addition to the RMO. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the efficacy of relative motion orthosis in PIP ROM using clinical scoring and physical exam findings.
