| Abstract |
Hand injuries represent approximately 20% of all disabling work injuries in California. Because they seldom constitute a threat to life, their care is often neglected, particularly in the recovery phase. A hand kit consisting of a sponge, a wooden towel, a paper bag and sandpaper, together with a set of instructions, has been developed to assist patients in regaining mobility in the hand. |
