Description

This course is dedicated to understanding and preventing hand and wrist injuries, which are prevalent due to their constant use in various daily activities. Participants will explore the two main categories of injuries: overuse injuries, often resulting from repetitive actions, and sudden or acute injuries, which occur quickly and unexpectedly. Emphasis is placed on the significance of prevention and awareness, particularly in tasks prone to repetitive strain, such as typing, operating vehicles, and using hand tools. The course aims to equip individuals with the knowledge to recognize potential risks, adopt preventative measures, and maintain hand safety for overall well-being and productivity. Identify the distinctions between overuse injuries and sudden injuries in the context of hand and wrist injuries, recognizing the common tasks and motions associated with each category. Demonstrate an understanding of preventive measures and awareness strategies to mitigate the risk of overuse injuries, specifically in tasks with a high rate of repetitive actions, such as typing and using hand tools. Evaluate the potential for sudden or acute injuries in everyday activities, implementing preventive practices and recognizing the importance of proper task completion to reduce the likelihood of accidents.
