Hand Functional Anatomy and Therapy

Abstract

This book developed from the experience of the ISAMMS team (Institut Sud Aquitain de la Main et du Membre Supérieur), who has been treating hand and wrist pathologies for over 20 years, with the collaboration of experts in their fields. Hands and wrists require specific care from a multidisciplinary staff. The patient has to be treated efficiently from their injury to their returning to work and to sports activities. This third volume covers the functional anatomy of the hand, as well as the most up to date knowledge regarding the surgical and orthopaedic protocols for treating hand pathologies. This publication is intended for physiotherapists and occupational therapists, surgeons and practitioners specialized in physical rehabilitation, as well as for the students in those fields.
