Abstract
Hand rehabilitation is a distinct specialization that requires close collaboration among the hand surgeon, the sports physician, and the emergency physician. The hand therapist uses specific rehabilitation protocols with objective assessment tools. The aim is the earliest return to sports possible and in the best possible condition. One of the hand therapist’s objectives is to limit the sequelae of trauma or surgery in athletes whose body image is highly developed. Physical therapy helps prevent complications related to protective attitudes – fear of moving and denial of the lesion of the hand, which could result in stiffness, swelling, and retraction. Rehabilitation must be meticulously planned, depending on the patient and the sport concerned.
