Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the factors affecting social participation in adult patients with hand injuries and to evaluate the effectiveness of a video-based physiotherapy awareness education in this population.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does a short, video-based physiotherapy education increase the knowledge and awareness levels of patients with hand injuries?
What are the primary factors (body functions and activity limitations) that restrict the social participation of these patients?
Participants will:
Complete baseline assessments including a sociodemographic form, the Quick-DASH questionnaire, and custom participation and awareness forms.
Receive a 10-15 minute video-supported education session from physiotherapists covering home strategies, exercises, and assistive devices.
Complete the knowledge and awareness test again immediately after the education session to measure acute changes.
