Abstract : As society transitions into an era of ubiquitous mobile interaction, De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis has evolved from an occupational hazard of manual laborers to a modern “tech-injury.” While traditional interventions focus on symptomatic suppression, they often fail to address the root biomechanical shifts caused by digital device overuse. This paper explores the transition from passive management to active, intelligent rehabilitation, introducing Neuro-Haptic Feedback Therapy (NHFT) as a transformative model for long-term functional recovery.

Keywords : De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis, Neuro-Haptic Feedback, Gamer’s Thumb, Smartphone-Related Injuries.
