A global proprioception concept after hand injury-Patient report.

Hand therapist should take into consideration the importance of hand proprioception in long-term functional outcomes and its potential impairment due to various factors. Rehabilitation programs should focus on proprioceptive training for hand injuries but also consider broader aspects such as global proprioception, plantar support, posture, and balance. Patient's experience after a significant hand and forearm injury resulting from a sports accident, multiple surgeries, and the challenges of recovery emphasizes the importance of holistic approaches to rehabilitation, considering both physical and mental aspects, and praises the role of the physiotherapist in providing comprehensive support and building confidence.
