Area of Science:

Rehabilitation Medicine
Digital Health
Neurosurgery

Background:

Hand function recovery after nerve surgery is crucial for quality of life.
Sensory and motor deficits impact grasping and fine motor skills.
Previous research shows intense, targeted training accelerates rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a mobile application for post-nerve surgery hand function training.
To incorporate evidence-based exercises and progress tracking.
To enhance patient engagement in rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

The app, Grip Again, was developed using Flutterflow (front-end) and Firebase (back-end).
Integrated 21 exercise videos with a focus on data security.
Evaluated qualitatively and compared to existing apps for user-friendliness and content.

Main Results:

The app demonstrates competitive user-friendliness and functionality.
Identified areas for optimization include treatment plan customization.
Further development is needed to enhance long-term user motivation.

Conclusions:

Grip Again successfully implements existing treatment pathways for hand nerve surgery recovery.
The app shows promise but requires enhancements for personalized care and sustained engagement.
