Hand Anatomy and Kinesiology, Exams of Nursing

A detailed overview of the anatomy and kinesiology of the hand, including information on the various movements, joints, ligaments, and muscles of the hand and fingers. It covers topics such as prehension, flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, opposition, and repositioning of the thumb and fingers. The document also discusses common hand injuries and conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, de quervain's disease, dupuytren's contracture, and various finger deformities. The information presented in this document could be useful for students studying human anatomy, kinesiology, or related fields, as well as healthcare professionals working with hand and upper extremity injuries and conditions.
