Abstract
The contributions of the hand therapist to the treatment of ligament injuries in the hand requires a combination of skills. A thorough knowledge of the pathomechanics of these injuries is a necessary prerequisite in the initial evaluation and treatment planning stage. Focus should never be entirely on the injury; it is also important to understand the emotional effect that the injury has had on the patient's work and leisure activities. Therapy programs usually require edema control and reduction and a variety of static and dynamic splints. The ultimate goal is returning the patient to fully functional activities.
