Arms/Interventions Module

Arm Groups

Label	Type	Description	Intervention Names
Training Group	Experimental	Early sensory re-education of the hand protocol with a sensor glove model, after a median and/or ulnar nerve injury repair	Other: Early sensory re-education of the hand with a sensor glove model
Control Group	No Intervention	Conventional rehabilitation for peripheral nerve injuries if the hand, without application of any kind of early sensory re-education protocol

Interventions

Name	Type	Description	Arm Group Labels	Other Names
Early sensory re-education of the hand with a sensor glove model	Other	Training Group patients were submitted to application of a three-month protocol for early sensory re-education of the hand using the sensor glove model developed by Mendes et al. (2011). Patients also received conventional physical therapy for this type of injury in a specialized hand therapy center in a university hospital. Control Group patients received only conventional physical therapy treatment. No home sensory re-education program was established for any group and the CG patients were not submitted to any protocol for early sensory re-education of the hand.
