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

Duration: 30 minute  |  CEU Points awarded: 1 General (CEUs), Level 1, Accreditation Number: PPB007/2025/08/004 This half-hour CPD course explores the detailed clinical anatomy and biomechanics of the wrist—designed to support physiotherapists and healthcare professionals involved in musculoskeletal and orthopaedic care. The session begins with an in-depth look at the bony architecture of the wrist, including the carpal bones and their articulations. Participants will then explore the key ligaments, tendons, and musculature that contribute to wrist stability and motion, with emphasis on the roles of the flexor and extensor systems. Special attention is given to the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), a critical stabilizer of the ulnar wrist. This lecture combines anatomical diagrams, palpation techniques, and clinical case examples to highlight the functional relationships between wrist structures and their relevance in diagnosing and managing common wrist injuries—such as ligament sprains, TFCC tears, and overuse syndromes. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of wrist anatomy that directly informs clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning in both acute and chronic conditions. Ideal for those working in hand therapy, sports injuries, or upper limb rehabilitation.
