Can Video Assisted Therapy Replace In-Person Occupational Therapy After Hand Surgery: a Noninferiority Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Thumb Osteoarthritis

In brief

This study will investigate a video assisted, home therapy program where participants complete hand therapy on their own following thumb arthroplasty. In this program, participants will receive prerecorded informational videos. Half of the participants in this study will do standard of care, in-person therapy. The other half will be enrolled in the home therapy program. Participants will fill out an assessment of their physical ability before surgery and again three months after surgery. These assessments will be compared between groups. The study team hypothesizes that the video-assisted, home therapy program will be noninferior to traditional in-person therapy.
