smartphones can also damage your hands? that's your exercise to keep fit. but have you ever done a workout for your fingers? today will show you some simple but effective exercise. healthy hand, this week's topic on in good shape. the dw health a our hands are the epitome of human creativity. most tools are made by and for our hands, and our hands themselves are complex tools which evolved over millennia. there are 27 bones in the human hand, more than any other part of the body. and its muscles are very complex, more than 30 muscles move the hand and fingers. the muscles in the hand can spread
11:32 am
your fingers and the muscles that extend into the forearm allow you to grasp and open your fingers. and our finger tips are densely packed with thousands of nerve endings. that makes them highly sensitive to touch. a lot of brain power is needed to process all these nerve impulses and control muscle movements in the brain, sensory and motor cortex. the areas associated with your hands are especially large that allows us to carry out very complex hand movements. another part of the brain plays a role in coordinating and fine tuning those movements. the cerebellum. the cerebellum has more than half the neurons in your brain and constantly makes fine adjustments to motor movements. that's why once we've learned or complex motor skills, like riding a bike, we can do it again and again without giving it all too much thought. and there is
11:33 am
more the left hemisphere of the brain controls the right hand. and the left hand is controlled by the right hemisphere. in most people, the right hand is dominant, as is the left hemisphere. so parts of the left hemisphere are slightly larger, especially the motor cortex. so is it exactly the other way around for a left handed, people surprisingly know in many left handed people, the left hemisphere is dominant just like in right handers. and often neither hemisphere is clearly dominant which hand we prefer is probably determined mainly by our genes. but in many cases, what matters most is how will our hands work together. ah, and for that, both hemispheres of the brain need to communicate that happens in the corpus can of
11:34 am
some, a thick bundle of nerves that connects the 2 hemispheres. and thanks to brain plasticity, repetition and practice help form new neural connections. so practicing new skills with your hands will also keep your brain sharp and nimble. there are many different hand exercises. jim and physiotherapists often recommend the following work out to strengthen your muscles and ligaments. fast. blend your elbows and bring your hands up in front of you. clenching them into tight fists for a few seconds. then press your finger tips firmly against your palms. repeat 5 times, exercise to stretch your arms and fingers out in front of you. drop your wrists down. now hold a strong fist for 10 seconds. exercise 3, extend your arms, palms facing up now till 2 hands down 90 degrees just enough so it doesn't hurt to

11:36 am
is a sign of over use or wear and tear on the joints. usually it's the tendency that becomes inflamed. wonder bernice dog, who writes or in this kind of irritation or over use the causes the sheets surrounding the attendant to thicken. then the attendant doesn't have enough room to slide freely and as she are, the result is what people call tendonitis. i get a cold packs massage physiotherapy and can easy ology type can help, but sometimes the problem is more serious. pretty zebra is what you end up with is chronic irritation or inflammation of the tenderness. okay. that's what the treatments try to address the phone or the 1st of all, ensuring that the thumb gets rest. i think a lot of times that solves the problems. then there's cortisone therapy and last of all surgery. and sometimes the only thing that helps with surgical removal of the inflamed tissue. so it's best not to get smartphone some in the 1st place. experts
11:37 am
recommend operating your mobile with both thumb, so you don't overstretched. the joints using your index finger instead can help to refer to your garden no matter what. as the father of a 17 year old daughter, i'd say, said the cellphone aside, more often impose some reasonable limits that can benefit other aspects of life as well. what i'm doing is leave the best way to prevent what's up i to us giving your smartphone and your thumb a break. expose is great for our health, but it's not without risk. campbell is one of the riskiest bullets. we'll your hands, the fast moving bull can injure, you'll think it's. the interaction between players can also be dangerous. the close contact tackling can lead to torn tendons and broken bones is also risk of falling heavily. hand surgeon,

steal with sports injuries every day. treating a dislocated wrist can be particularly problematic. it's not them liam, does this, i love flying more than anything, and i've been playing the piano since i was a girl. so my 1st thought was, what will happen to those 2 things? i love lives often pass, young pilot, loud cometh, dislocated a joint in both wrists in the fall to dislocated joint found like it would be easy to fix it. i was quoted as high in a dislocated risk, which is usually the wrist is also broken. hm. and there are torn ligaments isn't all of that needs to be realigned in repairing those joints requires very precise and complex surgery. la commerce had a serious injury which was clearly visible on the x ray. you'd have more fun. why this is the lunatic bone. it's called that because it's crushing shape elephant on
11:39 am
the mine. it's popped out of its normal position. the on the other bones are still in the correct position, but they're no longer a functional unit. because these carpal bones and the ligaments form a unit, a none in if one bone pops out, won't be, the ligaments are affected, all is loose and the rest becomes unstable at the sound getting things to be when her ambulance arrived at the trauma center, she was no longer conscious. what do you remember about the accident? it shunt? i'm human clinton. i was in line waiting for a climbing wall. it was busy, so i figured i'd try a different one. i started climbing and just forgot to secure myself. but luckily i didn't climb all the way to the tom about some company that would have been over 6 meters. i let go after 3 or 4 meters on a right before i hit the ground, i realized i wasn't secured. so i automatically reached out and fell on my hands. it was the worst pain i'd ever felt in my life. as i was lying there,

11:46 am
specific movements, the robotic lem, we'll use artificial intelligence to learn specific movement patterns. the electrodes inside the robotic lim, register the muscle impulses from the upper arm. the app matches these muscular patterns to specific movements and stores them. while voice gang bowers spent weeks learning the basics, the company's engineers were building his robotic lim. now it's ready to learn and adapt to voice gang bowers movement patterns. his robotic lim has brought him a major increase in quality of life. representing his trolling movements is just amazing room. all you have to do is imagine opening your hand and the robot hand opens. candidates. imagine closing at it and it closes same with rotating using either the prosthetic arm just doesn't. everything was, as with many things, practice makes perfect. that's the only way the intelligent prosthesis can continue
