At a glance
The tool does not need a new scoreboard. For Wrist & Hand, start from Key structures (Flexor tendons, median nerve, carpal tunnel) and then read Red-flag signs (Progressive weakness or muscle wasting).

Type of check 3 of 4: open the existing tool and hold Key structures in mind. The atlas states it as Flexor tendons, median nerve, carpal tunnel.
Red-flag signs
Then read Red-flag signs: Progressive weakness or muscle wasting. The tool is a way to see the figure, not a promise that the figure will stay still.
Why this search
The wrist and hand pack more small joints, tendons, and nerves into a small space than almost any other body region, enabling fine motor control at the cost of frequent overuse injury. People search this before they open Wrist & Hand. The page exists so the search lands on the tool instead of a copied essay.
