Based on the patient's presentation of good hand function, no limitation in range of motion, and good compliance with home exercise program, the best course of action would be to encourage active use of hands and monitor range of motion. Splinting or pressure garment gloves may not be necessary and could potentially limit the patient's progress and function. Alternating splinting one hand while leaving the other hand free may also not be necessary or beneficial in this case.
