Introduction

Hand function and strength are essential elements in day to day life and participation in sports. Loss of grip strength after a hand or wrist injury will usually have an impact on sporting participation and performance. This is the last course in the Sporting Hand and Wrist series and in this course, Ian Gatt discusses wrist range of motion. He focuses on what is being measured, how to measure it and the reasoning behind why it is important to measure in the sporting hand and wrist.

Aims

In this course you will learn about the different joints in the wrist, how to measure them and why it is important to have an accurate ROM measurement in our sporting patients.

I love the insights and information given by the instructor and it is a plus that he gave new alternatives due to lockdowns.

I enjoyed this presentation. Even though parts were a bit intricate and sporty, I picked up some handy tips such as how to measure joints eg, remembering that closed or open fist can give you a different outcome and can also indicate joint stiffness or even soft tissue issues.
