Summary
Hand injuries can lead to alienation and inhibited use. A new biopsychosocial rehabilitation approach and creative therapy aim to reintegrate injured hands, improving patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Psychosomatic Medicine
- Hand Surgery
Background:
- Hand injuries often result in alienation and prolonged rehabilitation.
- Involuntary inhibition of perception and use complicates recovery.
- Understanding the biopsychosocial impact is crucial for effective treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To diagnose, explain, avoid, and designate hand alienation post-injury.
- To develop a novel concept for integrating injured and alienated hands.
- To explore biopsychosocial rehabilitation and creative hand therapy.
Main Methods:
- Medical observations and patient/therapist interviews.
- Diagnosis based on inhibition of the gesture of thinking.
- Development of a biopsychosocial integrating rehabilitation concept.
Main Results:
- Inhibition of thinking gestures is a key diagnostic sign.
- Involuntary inhibition leads to hand alienation.
- Creative hand therapy focuses on complex, engaging activities.
Conclusions:
- Post-traumatic disintegration can be proportionate or complex, affecting the whole person.
- Biopsychosocial rehabilitation and creative therapy aim to prevent and manage disintegration.
- Further research is needed on the impact of the healthy hand, thinking gestures, and therapy effectiveness.
