ReHaB Core ⟩ MSOP Lab ⟩

This cross-over design study is being conducted to evaluate the proximal effects of mindfulness and visual biofeedback on stress, anxiety and pain in patients receiving hand therapy for hand dysfunction due to an orthopedic injury. Using both qualitative and quantitative techniques, this study will provide foundational information regarding potential short-term outcome measures, as well as tolerability, utility and feasibility necessary to develop an effective integrative mind-body intervention for hand therapy.
