REHABILITATION TECHNIQUES FOR LIGAMENT INJURIES OF THE WRIST
Hand Clinics, 1992The goal of treatment after any wrist injury is a pain-free, stable joint with sufficient strength and mobility to carry out the daily recreational, and occupational tasks required by the individual. Treatment varies considerably depending on the age of the patient, the severity of the initial injury, the operative procedure performed, and the specific

Rehabilitation of Common Athletic Injuries of the Hand and Wrist
Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1989Rehabilitation of athletic injuries of the hand and wrist should begin at the time of injury. Early recognition and prompt medical attention can serve to minimize the initial effects of injury. A systematic evaluation should include assessment of deformity, joint instability, active and passive motion, edema, and nerve and tendon function.

Development of wrist rehabilitation robot and interface system
Technology and Health Care, 2015The authors have developed a practical wrist rehabilitation robot for hemiplegic patients. It consists of a mechanical rotation unit, sensor, grip, and computer system. A myoelectric sensor is used to monitor the extensor carpi radialis longus/brevis muscle and flexor carpi radialis muscle activity during training.

SMA based wrist exoskeleton for rehabilitation therapy
2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2018This paper presents a rehabilitation wearable exoskeleton for wrist joint with two degrees of freedom (DOF), flexion-extension and adduction-abduction (radial and ulnar deviation), actuated with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) based actuators. Thanks to this type of actuators, the proposed device presents a very light weight and noiseless operation, in ...

EARLY MOTION PROTOCOLS IN HAND AND WRIST REHABILITATION
Hand Clinics, 1996Early motion programs establish gliding, decrease unwanted adhesions, and enhance the healing process and return to normal function of injuries. This article elaborates on how to best incorporate early motion programs into the rehabilitation process.

Journal of Hand Therapy
The field of wrist proprioception, as it relates to rehabilitation and surgery, has gone through a period of intense growth in the past decade. From being primarily focused on the function of the joint and ligaments in patients with wrist trauma or after wrist surgery, the understanding is now that of a greater complexity in treating not just the wrist

Rehabilitation of Hand and Wrist Injuries
2001Sport has become a widespread social phenomenon at both professional and amateur levels. The number of participants is also increasing, but very often these athletes lack necessary physical training and in many cases expect their bodies to perform beyond capacity. As a consequence, sports injuries to the hand and wrist are on the increase.

Implications for Rehabilitation After Total Wrist Arthroplasty
Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2004Achieving satisfactory, long-term functional outcomes after total wrist arthroplasty surgery has proved more complicated than with arthroplasties in joints such as the hip or knee. However, improvements in implant design and surgical technique have resulted in recent successes and evidence that wrist arthroplasty may be an appropriate choice to improve
