Hello all, I personally don't agree with the statement and I'm sitting for the CHT exam in 2 years. I'm feeling some dissension in regards to hand therapy. I feel that as an Occupational Therapist that has an interest in hands I can actively promote the profession with my pts and doctors alike. I don't only measure their grip, pinch strength and ROM but also ensure that they are able to partake in daily activities that are meaningful and important for them. I also have the opportunity to work hand in hand (no pun intended) w/doctors and advocate for our profession. When I see a pt that is unable to button their tops or reach into their pockets for change I make sure that they are able to perform these activities throughout their therapy. I think that we as OT's should come together and advocate for our profession and what we are really about!
