Customer Reviews

basic but good info

This book is easy to read and a quick reference. However, I agree that you will need to refer elsewhere for more detail. Our clinic has just purchased the hand rehab volumes in hopes to gain more knowledge.

Hand Rehabilitation

This book gives case studies of specific hand/arm injuries with time-tables for splinting/treatment in therapy, etc. Aids in outpatient clinic setting.

Excellent resource for therapists

Information is laid out clearly & precisely. A great "how to" book with useful & practical information. I would recommend this book to any therapist practicing in hands.

Useful clinical book of protocols for hand therapy

This book has been helpful in following a hand/UE protocol when you have not received one from the doctor. It also helps if your a new therapist and are not sure where to start with your patient.

Great quick reference

A great quick review reference book, very helpful within a practice setting for easy-to-access information. Information is designed in a diagnosis-treatment summary style, good for therapists looking for a quick reference on common treatment diagnoses. For more detailed info (as one might need for initial instruction or for the CHT exam), one might be better served by the "Rehabilitation of the Hand" volumes. This book is very practical and helpful in day to day practice.
