title: Hand rehabilitation--retrospective.
abstract: From the exercise principles of Galen through the compassionate practices of Canute and the leadership of Tissot, Dunton, Bunnell, Brand, and Hunter, hand rehabilitation has grown. Surgeons, nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists now work together for a common goal--to restore the patient with the injured hand to the greatest possible productivity in the shortest period of time.
