-==== 1.1 Notes ====+**Introduction:** The rehabilitation of patients following flexor tendon injury has progressed from immobilization to true active flexion with the addition of wrist motion over the last 75 years. 
 +Purpose of the Study: This review specifically intended to determine whether there is evidence to support one type of exercise regimen, early passive, place and hold, or true active, as superior for producing safe and maximal range of motion following flexor tendon repair. 
 + 
 +**Methods:** The preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA-P 2015) checklist was utilized to format the review. Both reviewers collaborated on all aspects of the research, including identifying inclusion/exclusion factors, search terms, reading and scoring articles, and authoring the paper. Articles were independently scored by each reviewer using the Structured Effectiveness Quality Evaluation Scale (SEQES). 
 + 
 +**Results:** A total of nine intervention studies that included a rehabilitative comparison group were systematically reviewed: one pediatric, four comparing passive flexion protocols to place and hold flexion, and four comparing true active flexion to passive and/or place and hold flexion. Discussion: This review provides moderate to strong evidence that place and hold exercises provide better outcomes than passive flexion protocols for patients with two to six-strand repairs. The studies included in this review suffered from methodological limitations including short timeframes for followup, unequal group distribution, and limited attention to repair site strength. 
 + 
 +**Conclusions:** Based on a lack of superior benefits following true active motion regimens, there is not sufficient evidence to support true active motion as an effective or preferable choice for flexor tendon rehabilitation at this time.
