I use YouTube when I want to view a new music video or if my friends have recommended a funny video to watch.

I have chosen hand therapy as my interest from my fieldwork experiences. This topic had interested me because I enjoyed making and experimenting with the hand splints. People who may require hadn therapy are people with arthritis, fractures, dislocations, sprains, strains, nerve injuries and compressions.

These are five videos from YouTube related to hand therapy:
1.
