The Hand and Wrist in Sport is an interactive online course that will expand your understanding of and provide a systematic approach to the clinical examination and rehabilitation of an athlete's hand and wrist.

Developed by Paul Brach, MS, PT, CHT, and Jane Fedorczyk, MS, PT, CHT, ATC, The Hand and Wrist in Sport is one of the first Internet courses offered through the PASS program. These courses feature the convenience and multimedia presentation offered by the Internet.

Through a special arrangement, this innovative course also includes 1 year of Internet access to Interactive Hand 2000, the first 3-D model of the wrist and hand produced with extreme clarity and depth of information. Created by Primal Pictures, this remarkable program offers incredible interactive images of the hand and wrist.

Interactive Hand 2000 illustrates anatomy that has been impossible to describe through two-dimensional diagrams. Dynamic video recordings of motion also are incorporated to illustrate function.

The online study guide for the course is not just printed material transferred into digital form. It is designed to present a meaningful opportunity to interact with the course subject matter in a way that facilitates learning.

The Hand and Wrist in Sport is problem centered. This method first identifies the principles necessary to solve common problems and then guides you through the process of learning how to apply these principles to solve a series of realistic problems. You assume the role of an athletic trainer guided by a virtual mentor, hand specialist Dr. Hogan, for one week.
