Introduction: Flexor tendon injuries reach the hands and present a challenge to the multidisciplinary team. Objective: The aim of clinical trials was to apply kinesiotherapy to recover hand function after tendon injury. Method: For the construction of this work, a literature review was performed based on articles that addressed the theme of kinesiotherapy applied to hand tendon surgery. Results: The studies found applied kinesiotherapy with exercise programs and joint mobilization in young and adults who underwent surgery on the tendon of the hand, assisting in functional recovery according to the affected area. Conclusion: Kinesiotherapy should be applied for functional recovery of the hand after tendon injuries, however, there is a huge shortage of publications on well-conducted clinical trials that guide the physiotherapist's work.
