Video Summary
Lorann Putnam, an occupational therapist specializing in hand therapy, discusses managing trigger finger, a condition caused by repetitive finger flexing. She recommends using splints to prevent finger bending and alleviate symptoms. Two splints of various sizes are suggested: one for nighttime to keep the finger extended, preventing contractures, and another for daytime use to restrict flexion. Flexibility is maintained by rotating the splint when needed. Treatment may include icing and trigger point stimulation to break up nodules and alleviate clicking or locking. Shockwave therapy is also effective in resolving the issue.
