Rehabilitation and use of protective devices in hand and wrist injuries.
Hand and wrist injuries are common among athletes. Although the hand does not often bear weight and these injuries do not always sideline an athlete, careful attention must be paid when treating injuries of the hand and wrist. Rehabilitation is given for common injuries of the hand and wrist, including exercises and protective splints and braces. Details on how to fabricate a playing cast for athletes are also discussed.
