Rehabilitation of the hand in tetraplegics.
Fifty cases of tetraplegia have been treated in the Spinal Cord Injury Centre, Military Hospital, Kirkee, during the past 4 years. Twelve patients have been treated by tendon transfer of the hand to give a pinch grip. They have been made more independent and can be rehabilitated better socially. This has been found better than using any splint continuously.
