1. Hand hygiene
The hand is the most useful and skillful part of the body,
built with complicated anatomical structures and capable of multiple functions. Two important problems must be considered because of the close contact of the hands with surrounding sub-stances. The first is protection of the hand.
In clinical practice, many patients with hand injuries must be treated by the surgeons, and many cases have functional impairment or even a lifelong disability. Therefore, particular care must be taken to protect the hands from injury. The second important problem is hand hygiene because the hands are always contacting surrounding substances, either clean or dirty. A large number of pathogens may be present in the fissures of nails and creases of the hands, and these may be brought into the mouth with food, possibly leading to disease. So care must be taken to prevent food-born diseases transmitted by hand. At the same time, diseases of the hand itself must be treated in time to guard against future trouble.
In brief, the correct selection of foot wear is very important in the care of the foot; and pleasant and comfortable walking is enjoyable and good exercise.
