title: Rehabilitation of the injured hand.
abstract: The gradual development of hand surgery as an area of specialization has led to the development of rehabilitative efforts that have complemented this trend. This had led to further specialization in hand therapy as a primary endeavor. Specific efforts in the areas of rehabilitation for soft tissue, bone, tendon, and nerve injuries have facilitated functional restoration of the injured hand.
