Description
Beatrice Moccaldi and ten co-authors pilot a hand rehab program in a 2026 study. Their patients live with a long-term ill that stiffens skin and organs, and weak hands add much to their daily limits. All had the ill for more than five years and at least one stiff upper-limb joint.
The program ran ten sessions over five weeks, with warm wax care and hand drills shaped to each patient. One group got the program and a match group did not, with no random split. The pilot weighs gains in hand use and life quality, to size a fuller trial.
