Anatomy and Kinesiology of the Hand
Presented by: Jane Fedorczyk, PT, PhD, CHT; and Kristin Valdes, OTD, OTR, CHT

Course Description:
A working knowledge of the anatomy and kinesiology of the hand provides a solid foundation for examination, evaluation, and intervention in hand therapy. This webinar will review the anatomy and biomechanics of the musculoskeletal tissues of the hand including joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Apply anatomical concepts of the hand to provide effective clinical decision-making and practice in hand rehabilitation.
  2. To examine the biomechanical aspects of normal and abnormal motion as influenced by the musculoskeletal tissues of the hand.
  3. Integrate normal anatomic and biomechanical relationships of the musculoskeletal tissues of the hand with selected injury or pathology.
  4. Discuss the anatomical relationships amongst the musculoskeletal tissues in the hand that relate to function.
