Aims: To determine the prevalence of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis among clinical physical therapists in Islamabad. Study design: A descriptive cross-sectional study Place and duration: We conducted this study among clinical physical therapists working in hospitals and clinics of Rawalpindi and Islamabad from Feb 2022 to Aug 2022. Methods: We included 288 clinical physical therapists that were selected through non-probability quota sampling. Both male and female clinical physical therapists with ages ranging from 25 to 50 yrs having thumb pain, with one year of clinical experience who worked for 4 to 8 hours per day at least 4 days a week were included in the study. The De Quervain tenosynovitis was diagnosed in participants having tenderness at the base of the thumb and a positive Finkelstein test. A positive Finkelstein sign indicates pain over the region of the abductor pollicis and extensor pollicis tendon. The data were collected and statistically analyzed using SPSS version 26. Results were shown in the form of frequency tables and graphs. Results: Out of 288 participants, 77(26.73%) had tenderness at the base of the thumb and 77(26.74%) clinician physical therapists had positive Finkelstein test. This indicates that 26.73% had De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis. Out of them, 31.94% of cases were males and 21.51% were females. Out of these 77 therapists, 4(5.2%) therapists suffered from mild pain, 61 (79.2%) physical therapists experienced moderate pain while 12(15.6%) therapists with positive cases had severe thumb pain. Conclusions: The study concluded that there was a prevalence of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis among clinical physiotherapists experiencing thumb pain. Key words: De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, Physical Therapists, Finkelstein’s test, Thumb pain

“…As a result, it was determined that tailors have a high frequency of De Quervain's tenosynovitis (Maurya, Priyanka, & Palkar, 2020). De Quervain's tenosynovitis also known as overuse tenosynovitis was characterised by the extensor retinaculum thickening, which covered the first dorsal compartment.…”

Background: De Quervain tenosynovitis is an inflammatory condition of wrist joint resulting in pain swelling and tenderness on the side of thumb. Repeated thumb movements and overuse of wrist joint contribute to the severity of symptoms. Objectives: To measure the prevalence of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis in cell phone gamers and its relationship to the frequency of cell phone usage/number of hours among gamers. Methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted using self-made questionnaire and a valid and reliable Finkelstein’s test was used. The study population was young students of Multan and the data of 300 students was taken. The data was collected from both male and female students using purposive sampling technique. Results: There were 13% gamers having De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. 31% were females and 69% were male students. De Quervain’s tenosynovitis was associated with game playing hours as the statistical analysis showed strong association between tenosynovitis and game playing hours having P-value=0.000. Moreover 87 students felt stressed during playing games and students reported that they felt difficulty during gripping of the objects, twisting the keys and typing on keyboard. Conclusion: Study concluded that De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is prevalent among phone gamers in both male and female and game playing hours was associated with De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. Increase in game playing ours increased the incidence of DQT.

“…[2][3][4] The condition of DQT was first described by the Swiss surgeon Fritz de Quervain in 1895, who described it as a painful stenosing tenosynovitis of the first dorsal compartment of the hand. [4][5][6][7] Wrist overuse and increased repetitive activity are common causes of DQT resulting in microdamage due to overuse of slipping of the main dorsal compartment tendons, namely the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) beneath the extensor retinaculum sheath and above the radius styloid process, causing pain. [8][9][10][11] DQT is the most common type of tendinopathy in athletes.…”

“…16 The Finkelstein test was first described in 1930 and has recently been described as being performed in four stages: first, by application of gravity assistance, gently ulnar deviation is active at the wrist; second, the patient is actively deviating towards the ulna; third, the ulnar deviation is passively by the examiner; and fourth, the examiners passively flexed the thumb to the palm. 4 Apart from that, other diagnostic tests can also be carried out, such as radiography which is used to distinguish other causes of wrist pain, such as osteoarthritis and fractures. 8 DQT conditions show inflammatory processes and histopathological signs similar to degenerative changes in the tendon, such as fibrocartilagenous metaplasia, mucopolysaccharide deposition, and neurovascularisation.…”

Latar Belakang: Diperkirakan bahwa lebih dari 25% semua cedera terkait olahraga melibatkan wrist dan hand. Salah satu jenis cedera yang dapat terjadi pada regio wrist dan hand adalah De Quervain’s tenosynovitis (DQT). Penggunaan pergelangan tangan/wrist yang berlebihan dan peningkatan aktivitas yang berulang merupakan penyebab umum DQT yang mengakibatkan kerusakan mikro akibat terlalu sering tergelincirnya tendon kompartemen bagian dorsal utama, sehingga menyebabkan rasa nyeri. Penatalaksanaan konservatif pada kasus DQT berbeda berdasarkan tingkat keparahan kondisinya. Terdapat berbagai jenis intervensi fisioterapi yang dapat diterapkan pada kasus DQT, seperti pengaplikasian modalitas ultrasound therapy, low-level laser therapy, extracorporeal schock wave therapy, pemasangan splinting, kinesio taping, serta berbagai jenis exercise. Tujuan: Untuk menentukan efektivitas pemberian intervensi fisioterapi pada kasus De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. Metode: Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah studi literature review yaitu menggunakan data sekunder yang diambil dari beberapa jurnal penelitian yang berkaitan dengan efektivitas intervensi fisioterapi pada kasus De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. Hasil: Beberapa penelitian membuktikan bahwa pemberian intervensi fisioterapi berupa berupa modalitas, seperti low-level laser therapy, ultrasound therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, bebera jenis latihan seperti eccentric exercise, strengthening exercise, pemasangan thumb spinting, serta pemberian manual terapi berupa deep friction massage efektif dalam mengurangi tanda dan gejala pada kasus De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. Simpulan: Pemberian intervensi fisioterapi berupa modalitas yang dikombinasikan dengan beberapa jenis latihan, pemasangan thumb spinting, serta pemberian manual terapi berupa deep friction massage terbukti efektif dalam mengurangi gejala pada pasien dengan De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.
