Two different exercises approaches were tested in patients with Scapho-Lunate (SL) instability; one to strengthen the tendons in static positions and the other to strengthen the tendons whilst the wrist is moving.
Scapho-Lunate (SL) instability is the most common form of wrist instability, but is complex to diagnose and is often missed entirely. The natural progression of SL instability has been suggested to lead to osteoarthritis. The management of SL instability can be broadly divided into conservative and surgical, with the former being the first option taken by most medical professionals, which primarily involves physiotherapy. The evidence base for physiotherapy management of SL instability is limited; however cadaver research has identified loading some of the wrist tendons may stabilise the scaphoid and lunate.There is currently no research as to whether this clinically makes any difference to the patients symptoms, or how to do it. This research therefore aimed to test the protocol and methods, and act as a platform for larger studies, to investigate this.
