1. Common Injury Mechanisms and Structures Involved in Traumatic Industrial Upper Extremity Injury
This chapter presents the unique characteristics of traumatic hand injuries. Potentially involved structures and external components influencing rehabilitation progression are introduced. The understanding and management of these factors can significantly influence ultimate patient outcomes.
2. The Search for Safe Motion
Early motion has been demonstrated to positively influence patient outcomes; however, each injured structure presents its own set of precautions. This section presents techniques for acute management of commonly injured structures, including tendon, nerve, artery, bone, and skin, within the framework of what factors permit or preclude initiation of safe early motion. Understanding of these factors is crucial when making important clinical management decisions.
3. Cases: Putting It All Together
Through three case presentations, strategies are provided to follow evidence-based (guided) practice and prioritize precautions and problems. These cases explore how treatment is guided by an understanding of healing and a balancing of established treatment guidelines and is progressed based on an understanding of healing and precautions. The strategies identified through these cases should provide the therapist with a consistent and successful approach for maximizing outcomes for the traumatically injured patient.
