Clinical Anatomy of the Hand: Module 4 (Accreditation Number: PPB007/2025/08/004)

Duration:  1 Hour | CEU Points awarded: 1 General (CEUs), Level 1, Accreditation Number: PPB007/2025/08/004 This one-hour CPD course offers a detailed exploration of the complex and finely tuned anatomy of the hand, designed specifically for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals working in musculoskeletal and orthopaedic care. The session begins with a review of the skeletal framework—highlighting the carpal bones, metacarpals, and phalanges—before moving into the muscular system, with a focus on the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic muscles that enable grip, coordination, and fine motor control. Participants will examine the biomechanics of the tendon systems, including the function and interaction of the flexor and extensor tendons, along with the pulley system that supports efficient finger movement. The course also covers the hand’s neural and vascular components, providing a clearer understanding of sensory feedback, circulation, and motor control. Linking anatomical knowledge with clinical relevance, this course will support better assessment and treatment of hand injuries and dysfunctions. Ideal for therapists working in hand therapy, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, or neuro-musculoskeletal practice looking to strengthen their anatomical understanding and refine clinical reasoning.
