PHYSICAL MEDICINE FOR INJURED HANDS

摘要

The functional concepts of treatment of the injured hand by use of the various modalities of physical medicine, including heat, massage, electrical stimulation, passive exercises, active exercises, occupational therapy and splints are discussed. Immobilization is often necessary to correct anatomical injuries. Mobilization activities using physical medicine are just as necessary to correct functional deficiencies of the hand occurring either from the injury or the enforced immobilization following an injury.
