This document provides an overview of the anatomy and functions of the hand and wrist. It describes the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves that make up the hand. The roles of these structures are explained, including how they allow for different types of grip and range of motion. Various clinical tests are outlined to assess sensory and motor functions. Injuries and conditions that can affect the structures of the hand are also discussed.
