Which item is not typically part of occupational therapy rehabilitation after tendon repair?
Correct Answer:
Laser eye surgery.
Explanation:
Post-tendon repair rehab centers on protecting the repair while gradually restoring tendon glide and hand function. Wound care and edema management are essential to control swelling and prevent stiffness that could limit tendon movement. Scar management helps optimize scar tissue so the tendon can glide smoothly during movement. Desensitization reduces hypersensitivity, improving tactile tolerance and enabling practical use of the hand. Laser eye surgery is not part of OT rehabilitation for a tendon repair because it targets the eye, not the repaired tendon or hand function.
