Josh Gerrity – Advances in Hand Therapy, From Evaluation to Treatment

Hand Therapy Essentials
For treatment of hand problems, it is important to be able to accurately diagnose the problem. Incorrect treatment can lead to injuries. to Heal or other deformities to develop. It is essential to be able to comprehend the anatomy and structure of the hand. to Effectively treat these conditions to prevent functional impairments.

This recording was created for to Give learners a better understanding the intricate anatomy and how it works. to Common hand pathologies are accurately evaluated and treated. The workshop will cover common injuries that are often mistreated and offer treatment options. in They are used in their daily practice. This course also provides information on the various types of splints that are commonly used to treat common hand pathologies. This course will give you the tools to succeed. to Learn the skills to Even the most difficult hand patients can be treated.

1. Look at the intricate anatomy of your hand to determine the impact it has on function
2. How did you do it? to Effectively evaluate common hand pathologies
3. Use specialized tests to practice in Evaluation by hand
4. Learn how to treat hand pathologies like De Quervain’s, carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist fractures.
5. Discuss the principles behind splinting and the most commonly used splints
