Trigger finger is a condition in which one of your fingers becomes caught in a bent
posture (also known as stenosing tenosynovitis). With a snap, your finger may bend
or straighten, similar to a trigger being pulled and released.

It happens when the area within the sheath that surrounds the injured finger’s tendon
narrows due to inflammation. Your finger may become trapped in a bent posture if
the trigger finger problem is severe.

Any finger, including the thumb, might be affected by trigger fingers. At any given
time, more than one finger may be afflicted, and both hands may be involved. Triggering
is most noticeable first thing in the morning, while holding an object firmly, or
when straightening your finger.

The following are some of the signs and symptoms of trigger finger, which can range
from minor to severe:

 * Finger stiffness, especially first thing in the morning

 * As you move your finger, you will feel a popping or clicking sensation.

 * Tenderness or a lump (nodule) near the base of the affected finger in the palm

 * Finger grabbing or locking in a bent posture, then abruptly straightening

 * You can’t straighten your finger since it’s stuck in a bent position.

Physical therapy is believed to be one of the most effective and appropriate therapies
for such problems, particularly after surgery.

Physical therapy is usually done in a hospital or clinical setting, but owing to
the cutting-edge technology of the Rehabilitation Robot Gloves: [SIFREHAB-1.1](https://sifsof.com/product/robotic-rehabilitation-gloves-sifrehab-1-1/)
and [SIFREHAB-1.0](https://sifsof.com/product/portable-rehabilitation-robotic-gloves-sifrehab-1-0/),
it can now be done at home.

These hand rehabilitation devices function in both flexion and extension to mobilize
the trigger finger joints. Even if the patient has no active residual movement, 
passive mobilization can be used in the early stages of treatment. Fortunately, 
the software allows for a wide range of therapy customization options.

The Portable Rehabilitation Robotic Gloves: SIFREHAB-1.0 would magnify force in 
the direction the user tries to move to achieve the same goal (open or close his
trigger finger).

The following home rehabilitation equipment can also give resistance in the opposite
direction, which can aid in movement stabilization and hand muscle tone exercises.
That is, the design could be used for a wide range of purposes and users, including
individuals with stenosing tenosynovitis.

In sum, SIFREHAB-1.0 and SIFREHAB-1.1 provide low-cost, safe, intensive, and task-
oriented rehabilitation through home therapy, which can improve treatment efficacy
by including the recovery of daily-living-activity functions as well as a home environment
adjustment.

To recap, a person with Trigger Finger Issue who follows an appropriate treatment
plan may be able to improve his symptoms over time by performing hand therapy exercises
at home with equipment such as the SIFREHAB-1.0 and SIFREHAB-1.1 Rehabilitation 
Robot Gloves.
