Hand and Upper Extremity | Desert Regional Medical Center

Reaching, grabbing, writing, driving, lifting, or clicking a mouse – all seemingly simple daily activities that could be affected by overuse, strain, or trauma. This area of the human body is uniquely complex and includes the joints, bones, and muscles of the fingers, hand, wrist, arm, elbow, and shoulder.
