Product Information

The symptoms of hand injuries can vary depending on the type of injury, how the injury occurred (mechanism), depth, severity, and location.

These injuries can be devastating to the hand and the patient. Reattaching (replantation) is difficult, and even if successful may, cause long-term complications with pain and infection. Situations, when a surgeon may attempt replantation, are amputation involving a child, thumb amputation, or amputation of multiple fingers or the entire hand.

Hand wounds that have not been treated six to eight hours after initial injury may not need sutures. Many health care professionals leave these wounds open since they are sutured (closed) they are more prone to infection.Bedoya, A. A., Miltenberger, M. R., & Lopez, R. M. (2015).

Certain exposures require immediate debridement. In some burns, water is not used because it further damages the skin, other exposures require systemic treatments so a specialist in burns is good to consult; in addition, the poison control center (1-800-222-1222) can help decide what special emergency treatments may help with certain patients.

STRENGTH TRAINING FOR THE HAND & WRISTS

Centre Punch- A common type of punch with a semi blunted end. This is typically used to mark a centre for drilling in a piece. By creating a small recess for the drill bit to rest in, the drill is assured a greater chance of staying on course. Dunn, E. C., Humberstone, C. E., Franchini, E., Iredale, F. K., & Blazevich, A. J. (2021). The effect of fatiguing lower-body exercise on punch forces in highly-trained boxers. European Journal of Sport Science, 1-9. Many of the mechanisms described can be observed when viewing the RHSP in slow motion (Figure 1), in this video it is clear that the rear leg extends first to provide the propulsive force, then the front leg lands creating a braking force that transfers a horizontal torque to the pelvis and trunk. The use of video analysis is an incredibly effective method of evaluating an athletes punch technique even in its most simple forms. Whilst the amortisation period between the pelvis and trunk is too fast to observe in the video, figure 2 shows that the pelvis does indeed begin to rotate towards the target before the trunk does.
