The Anatomy of the Wrist
The wrist and hand comprises 27 bones with complex joint accessory movements to produce fluid motion.
The wrist and hand are the most distal link in the kinetic chain involving any upper body movement.
Working on a computer, or at a desk in general, involves repetitive use of the hand and wrist while holding a mouse, and typing with a keypad which may potentially contribute to pain and injury.
Like any repetitive strain issue, injury to the wrist can prove challenging to rehabilitate.
A thorough history, clinical examination, and diagnosis are required to determine prognosis and determine a treatment plan to comprehensively rehabilitate a wrist and hand injury.
Contributing factors that need to be addressed to prevent recurrence of injury include addressing local or proximal musculoskeletal deficits and biomechanical movement inefficiencies, alongside an analysis and critique of daily movement patterns.
