The efficacy of this study which is conservative physical therapy, was assessed by pain, grip power, pinch grip, and satisfaction level of patients. The results were as follow; 1. Pain(VAS) was statistically significant with Group 1 and Group 2(P<0.05), and Group 2 was more statistically significant than Group 1(P<0.05). 2. Spherical grip was statistically significant with Group 1 and Group 2(P<0.05), and Group 2 was more statistically significant than Group 1(P<0.05). 3. Pinch grip was statistically significant with group 1 and Group 2(P<0.05), and Group 2 was more statistical significance than Group 1(P<0.05). 4. Satisfaction level was statistically significant with group 1 and Group 2(P<0.05), and Group 2 was more statistically significant than Group 1(P<0.05).
