Understanding the hand's biomechanics is crucial for understanding hand pathology, mechanisms of injury, treatment methods and salvage procedures. While instruction in biomechanics often focuses on gait and the loads on the lower extremity, understanding the biomechanics of grasp and hand manipulation requires a focus on the unique anatomy of the hand. A combination of high dexterity and powerful grasp is enabled by the hand's complex biomechanics, consisting of relatively unstable joints exposed to high demands.
