• Range of Motion (mobility and flexibility)
• Strength and Function
• Ligament and Joint stability
• Reflexes, Sensation
• Nerve Tests
• Swelling Tests and Measurements

These tests are designed to help your hand therapist diagnose your pain or injury, and then determine the best treatment plan for your condition.
