Everyone is aware of the effects of arthritis – an inflammation of the joints that cause pain and making movement difficult.

This can complicate everyday activities and can make it impossible to fully extend the fingers — resulting in a loss of normal grasping.
Since our hands are typically the first point of contact with the tactile world, they — along with the wrists — are subject to all kinds of fracture risks including falls, a crush injury, a twisting injury, or through direct contact in sports.
