HANDTHERAPYHand therapy is the art and science of rehabilitation of the upper limb, which includes the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder girdle.
A hand therapist is a nationally registered occupational therapist or physical therapist who, through advanced continuing education, clinical experience and integration of anatomy, physiology and kinesiology, has become proficient in treatment of pathological upper-quadrant conditions resulting from trauma, disease, congenital or acquired deformity. Through skilled intervention, therapists improve function and increase an individual’s independence to return to their normal daily routine. A hand specialist may also have advanced certification as a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT).
