What do Hand Occupational Therapists do?
Hand occupational therapists, also known as certified hand therapists (CHTs), rehabilitate injuries and conditions of the hand and upper limb to restore function, reduce pain, and improve daily life.
They use a variety of treatments, including customized orthotics (splints), exercise programs, pain and swelling management, and scar care, to help patients regain strength and movement for everyday tasks such as writing, typing, and sports.
They also provide training for healthier work habits and consult with industrial settings.
What they do
Assess and diagnose: They evaluate a patient’s condition to identify impairments such as decreased range of motion, muscle strength, or pain.
Develop treatment plans: They create personalized rehabilitation programs that combine techniques and therapies.
Fabricate orthotics: They create custom splints and orthoses to support, protect, or immobilize an injured area, or to improve function and prevent stiffness.
Manage pain and swelling: They use various methods to control physical symptoms and help patients manage their pain.
Provide exercises and activities: They guide patients through specific exercises to improve strength, range of motion, and motor skills.
Treat wounds and scars: They provide care for wounds and manage scarring to improve outcomes and prevent issues.
Assist with daily tasks: They help patients perform activities such as writing, cooking, or dressing more easily, often with adaptive equipment.
Provide education and training: They educate patients on their condition and how to manage it at home, including teaching them home exercise programs. They may also train employees on proper ergonomics and healthy work habits.
