| | APTA Hand, Wrist, and Elbow |
 | | DeQuervain's Disease is a painful condition that involves the tendon of the thumb and the distal radius. | | | Your physical therapist can help you regain function in your elbow, wrist, or hand as quickly as possible through a combination of manual techniques such as exercise, massage and mobilization, and training to help you use your hand for maximal function. | | | And yet this area is one of the most intricate- and one of the most vulnerable to injury- in the human body. |

| | Wrist Fracture - Colles |
| | Wrist and finger stiffness is a very common problem after this injury, and therapy can be the step which makes all of the difference. | | | Depending on the problem, a therapist can be very helpful in providing a protective splint and supervising special exercises to improve movement and strength. | | | If the pieces don't lock back together like a jigsaw puzzle, the pull of the forearm muscles can pull the larger end over the smaller like a sleeve, and the bone can shorten like a collapsible drinking cup. |

The latest incarnation is mostly round, with a squared-off top to allow for the lens and IR equipment. | | | Before you shake your head in disbelief or start to mumble things like, "That's a real thoughtful use of $229.95," let me explain. |
