  • Wrist Fracture – Advice Following Removal of Your Cast
    Wrist Fracture – advice following removal of your cast A plaster cast usually prevents a fracture from moving, but allows your fingers to move. The cast also reduces pain. What to expect It usually takes four to six weeks for new bone to form to heal your fracture. When the cast is removed most people find that their wrist is stiff, weak and uncomfortable to start with. It may also be prone to swelling and the skin dry or flaky, this is quite normal. It is normal to get some pain after your fracture. If you need painkillers you should take them as prescribed as this will allow you to do your exercises and use your wrist for light activities. You can ask a Pharmacist about over the counter painkillers. If your pain is severe, continuous or excessive you should contact your GP. The new bone gradually matures and becomes stronger over the next few months. It is likely to be tender and may hurt if you bang it. The muscles will be weak initially, but they should gradually build up as you start to use your hand and wrist. When can I start to use my hand and wrist? It is important to try and use your hand and wrist as normally as possible. Start with light activities like fastening buttons, washing your face, eating, turning the pages of books over etc. Build up as pain allows. Avoid lifting a kettle for 4 weeks If I have been given a Wrist splint You may have been given a wrist splint to wear.

    2019 IWIW Meeting Abstracts, Las Vegas, Wed. Sept. 4th SESSION 1: Carpal Ligament 1 Stable Central Column Theory of Carpal Mechanics Michael Sandow FRACS Wakefield Orthopaedic Clinic Adelaide, Australia Background: The carpus is a complicated and functionally challenged mechanical system and advancements in the understanding have been compromised by the recognition that there is no standard carpal mechanical system and no typical wrist. This paper cover component of a larger project that seeks to develop a kinetic model of wrist mechanics to allow reverse analysis of the specific biomechanical controls or rule of a specific patient's carpus, and then use those to create a forward mathematical model to reproduce the unique individual's anatomical motion based on the extracted rules. Objectives and Methods: Based on previous observations, the carpus essentially moves with only 2 degrees of freedom - pitch (flexion / extension) and yaw (radial deviation / ulnar deviation), while largely preventing roll (pronation / supination). The object of this paper is therefore to present the background and justification to support the rules based motion (RBM) concept states that the motion of a mechanical system, such as the wrist, is the net interplay of 4 rules - morphology, constraint, interaction and load. The Stable Central Column Theory (SCCT) of wrist mechanics applies the concept of RBM to the carpus, and by using a reverse engineering computational analysis model, identified a consistent pattern of isometric constraints, creating a "Two-Gear Four-Bar" linkage. This study assessed the motion of the carpus using a 3D dynamic visualization model, and the hypothesis was that the pattern and direction of motion of the proximal row, and the distal row with respect the immediately cephalad carpal bones or radius would be very similar in all directions of wrist motion.

Srinivasan1 and Kannabiran Bhojan2 1Sri Ramachandra University, India 2RVS College Of Physiotherapy, India Submission: September 10, 2015; Published: October 06, 2015 *Corresponding author: Jibu George varghese, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Sri Ramachandra University, Coimbatore, India, Email: Abstract Background and Purpose: Finger flexion cascade (FFC) is a natural phenomenon that is observed in the hand at complete rest. It is the posture/alignment of fingers with some flexion at all the joints of digits, beginning with less flexion at the index finger, progressing to more flexion towards the little finger. The FFC may vary in individuals of different occupations as occupational activities performed over a prolonged period may have an influence on the finger flexion ROM thereby influencing the normal FFC. Understanding the variations may serve as a valuable tool to manage rehabilitation following hand injuries, which may include improving the finger flexion joint ROM suited to the need of the individual. The purpose of this study was to observe, measure and document the FFC in individuals belonging to different occupations and to analyzeMethods: whether a significant variation may be seen within the occupations and between the occupations. One hundred twenty five healthy individuals with an age ranging between 20 to 60 years who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. Occupations included were electricians, maintenance workers and desk workers.

  • Hand, Elbow, Wrist Pain
    Physical and Sports Therapy Hand, Elbow, Wrist Pain The hand is a wondrously complex structure of tiny bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons which work together to perform tasks. The wrist and elbow are stabilizing joints that support the steady use of the hand and provide attachment points for the muscles that control the hand and wrist. All three of these areas are prone to injury from overuse or trauma. Their complexity requires the skills of an expert for proper rehabilitation from injury. Some Hand, Wrist, and Elbow Issues Include: Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow: Tendonitis, or inflammation of the tendons, at the muscular attachments near the elbow. Symptoms typically include tenderness on the sides of the elbow, which increase with use of the wrist and hand, such as shaking hands or picking up a gallon of milk. Tendonitis responds well to therapy, using eccentric exercise, stretching, and various manual therapy techniques. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the Median Nerve at the hand/base of your wrist. Symptoms include pain, numbness, and tingling of the first three fingers. The condition is well-known for waking people at night. Research supports the use of therapy, particularly in the early phase, for alleviation of the compression through stretching and activity modification. Research indicates that the longer symptoms are present before initiating treatment, the worse the outcome for therapy and surgical intervention due to underlying physiological changes of the nerve. What can Physical or Occupational therapy do for Hand, Wrist, or Elbow pain? Hand, wrist, and elbow injuries are commonly caused by trauma, such as a fall or overuse.

  • REVIEW ARTICLE Osteoarthritis of the Wrist
    REVIEW ARTICLE Osteoarthritis of the Wrist Krista E. Weiss, Craig M. Rodner, MD From Harvard College, Cambridge, MA and Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, CT. Osteoarthritis of the wrist is one of the most common conditions encountered by hand surgeons. It may result from a nonunited or malunited fracture of the scaphoid or distal radius; disruption of the intercarpal, radiocarpal, radioulnar, or ulnocarpal ligaments; avascular necrosis of the carpus; or a developmental abnormality. Whatever the cause, subsequent abnormal joint loading produces a spectrum of symptoms, from mild swelling to considerable pain and limitations of motion as the involved joints degenerate. A meticulous clinical and radiographic evaluation is required so that the pain-generating articulation(s) can be identi- fied and eliminated. This article reviews common causes of wrist osteoarthritis and their surgical treatment alternatives. (J Hand Surg 2007;32A:725–746. Copyright © 2007 by the American Society for Surgery of the Hand.)

  • ABSTRACT Background: a Normal Finger Flexion Cascade (FFC) Is Formed by the Fingers of the Hand When the Hand in a Relaxed Position
    Int J Physiother. Vol 7(2), 59-68, April (2020) ISSN: 2348 - 8336 ORIGINAL ARTICLE GENDER ORIENTED VARIATIONS IN THE FINGER FLEXION CASCADE IN NORMAL INDIVIDUALS *¹Jibu George Varghese, M.P.T., CMP., COMPT., MCTA. ²Vidhya Venugopal, M.Sc., Ph.D ³V. Srinivasan, M.S., M.Ch. 4G. A. Geetha Hari Priya, M.P.T IJPHY ABSTRACT Background: A normal Finger Flexion Cascade (FFC) is formed by the fingers of the hand when the hand in a relaxed position. Usually, the fingers of the hand assume a flexed position; gender may influence the normative values of the resting hand due to differences in the anatomical structure of hand and frequency of usage of joints of hand in their respective occupation and habitual activities of daily living. Hence the study aims to find the difference in the FFC between men and women in power grip and nonpower grip occupational activities. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a mixed population of five hundred active individuals aged between 25 and 40 years belonging to various occupations of industrial work and individuals working with software companies. Individuals who fulfilled the inclusion criteria participated in the study. After completing a questionnaire based on occupation, the subjects were grouped into power grip users and nonpower grip users. The range of motion of the joints of all the fingers, namely, metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and distal interphalangeal joints of both dominant hand and nondominant hand was measured using universal finger goniometer, and the composite finger flexion was recorded using a geometric ruler. The results were analyzed, and Un-paired T-test was used to compare the FFC between the power grip and the nonpower grip group.
