That depends what you mean.

Can you move your hand around like when you knock a door? If that is what you mean, no. However, if you're talking about moving your fingers as in moving your hand, yes, you can.


Yes you can. You can rotate your wrist and move you hand. But it does depend on the break but do be aware that if you do move it you can make it worse.....
