For that reason, hand therapists must be prepared to perform in-depth evaluations of the wrist and determine if conservative management is warranted prior to seeking surgical consult. This course sets out to establish solid anatomical and biomechanical foundations necessary for a clear understanding of the wrist stability and movement.
