TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Wrist, Hand, and Finger Pathologies A1 - Starkey, Chad A1 - Brown, Sara D. Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Examination of Orthopedic & Athletic Injuries, 4e AB - The shoulder is equipped for mobility and gross placement of the arm in space. The elbow is equipped for stability. The wrist, hand, and fingers, the final links in the chain, are perfectly equipped for strength and precision. Injury to this area includes impairment of gross and fine motor movements. The extent of an individual's participation restrictions after injury to these areas depends on the nature of necessary tasks and whether or not the dominant extremity is involved. In football, a hand injury that has little consequence to a lineman could be disabling to a quarterback or wide receiver. SN - PB - F. A.
