| hand anatomy: Hand and Wrist Anatomy and Biomechanics Bernhard Hirt, Harun Seyhan, Michael Wagner, 2016-10-12 Hand and Wrist Anatomy and Biomechanics A Comprehensive Guide There is a saying that hand surgery without a tourniquet is like repairing a clock in a barrel full of dark ink. Operating without a sound fundamental knowledge of anatomy can be compared to stirring around in the soup. Classic anatomy instruction covers only a fraction of the area of hand surgery: bones, muscles/ligaments, vessels, and nerves. The many different connective-tissue structures are often only briefly highlighted. The complex interaction of the various structures remains a mystery to most. This book presents the specialty of applied anatomy and is intended for medical professionals involved with the hand and its functionality: hand surgeons, trauma specialists, orthopaedists, plastic surgeons, occupational therapists, and physio-therapists. Key Features: Almost 150 illustrations, anatomical drawings, and photos of anatomy in vivo. Up-to-date information on clinical aspects such as diseases, their causes, and their treatment. Part 1 deals with the anatomy and functional anatomy of the hand Part 2 is dedicated to the surface anatomy of the structures of the forearm, wrist, and hand |

| hand anatomy: Knowing Hands David A. Rosenbaum, 2017-02-27 Whenever you get dressed, carry objects, write, draw, or gesture, you express knowledge about how to get things done with your hands. Ironically, that knowledge is often difficult to express. Typically you can't say what you know. Still, it would be enormously useful to identify the knowledge underlying manual control. The design of equipment and transportation systems might better anticipate the abilities and limitations of users, and methods of teaching and rehabilitating skills might improve. This book, the first on the cognitive psychology of manual control, uncovers the hidden knowledge that hands express. Organized around key topics in this emerging area, including the role of the will in manual control, illusions concerning hand position sense, and the coordination of manual actions with others, Knowing Hands explains the planning and control of manual actions in everyday life. |
| hand anatomy: The Hand - Its Function and Anatomy Yasuo Ueba, 2018-08-23 The hand demonstrates the history of the human race and also an individual person. Needless to mention here, the hand has played the most important role since human evolution. It is indispensable in human lives. The hand with accurate movements and delicate senses serves to smooth our daily life and complex social activity. Its quick and precise motions amaze us as if there is a mind in it. Even in the new era of innovative technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things) and autonomous robots with AI, we still wonder if such precise and clever machine as the hand could be made in the future. The human hand is an invaluable and unapproachable gift from the nature. It is our wish to learn the precise structure of the hand. Hand surgery has progressed rapidly in recent years, and an impaired hand can be treatable to a large extent. Any medical staff who participates in treating the hand should know its exact anatomy. On top of static structure of a cadaver hand, anatomical knowledge of a functioning hand is mandatory. The hand is not an inorganic machine, but a living organ. It is necessary to understand why the structure has come to the present shape and aligned in the hand. Anatomy of the hand is sometimes tedious for medical students who have to memorize numerous tissues with complex academic terminology. The main object of this book is to learn the dynamic anatomy of the reader's own hand rather than that of a cadaver's static dead hand. This book would serve as an oasis for the medical students to refresh their interest in the hand anatomy. This book was published primarily as a reference for hand surgeons. But, it became popular among orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, and surgeons in other fields. Thereafter, hand-therapists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists gradually increased in number as the readers. Many robot researchers, teachers for children, and some musicians who were keenly interested in the hand anatomy joined the group. It was an unexpected pleasure and happiness for the author, who wishes the contribution of this book to the progress of hand surgery as well as for the promotion of world peace. The contents of this English edition published in 2018 are as follows. Chapter 1 Functions of the hand 1. Functions of the hand 2. Dysfunctions of the hand 3. How to evaluate the hand function Chapter 2 Birth and development of the hand 1. Phylogeny of the hand 2. Development and growth of the hand in the human embryo Chapter 3 Surface anatomy of the hand 1. Skin anatomy 2. Motion analysis Chapter 4 Deep anatomy of the hand 1. Bone 2. Joint 3. Muscle and tendon 4. Tendon sheath 5. Fasciae 6. Fascial space 7. Nerve 8. Artery 9. Vein 10. Lymphatic system Many illustrations are used instead of unclear photos to emphasize important points. The right hand is only employed in these photos and illustrations. The all 199 illustrations and photos will help you easily and precisely understand the function and anatomy of the hand. |

| hand anatomy: In Our Hands Arnold Arem, 2004 “Thorough, informative, and warmly modern.” —Kirkus Reviews Over the twenty years that Arnold Arem has worked as a reconstructive hand surgeon, he has reflected on the impact of living with pain and questions of psychic well-being in the face of crippling injury and physical deformity. Many patients have been helped by his mixture of technical skill and an all-too-rare ability to simply listen to them. Arem tells extraordinary stories of the people he has treated in his practice: a boy with a birth defect for whom he fashions opposable thumbs; an elderly woman whose bizarre paralysis he recognizes as psychosomatic, leading to a cure; a man whose spirit remains intact despite the loss of both feet and one hand to Jim Henson’s disease. Above all, In Our Hands evokes the deepest issues of the relationship between the hand and human identity. |
| hand anatomy: Hand Safety Cassian Pereira, AI, 2025-03-18 Hand Safety is your comprehensive guide to understanding, preventing, and treating hand injuries, a surprisingly common issue impacting both workplace productivity and overall quality of life. Did you know a significant percentage of workplace accidents involve hand injuries? This book highlights the hand's complex anatomy, explaining how its intricate network of bones, muscles, and nerves makes it vulnerable. The book advocates for a proactive approach to hand safety, emphasizing that many injuries are preventable with the right knowledge. The book begins by introducing common injuries such as cuts, burns, and sprains, and then systematically explores risk factors in various environments. It focuses on practical preventative strategies, including the use of protective equipment and ergonomic principles, and provides detailed guidance on first aid and medical treatments. Drawing from occupational health, ergonomics, and sports medicine, Hand Safety uses case studies and statistical data to present evidence-based strategies in an accessible manner. The book concludes with rehabilitation and return-to-work strategies, offering exercises to regain strength and dexterity. |
