Great text with helpful illustrations and tips. Clearly written, enjoyable to read. Useful for new and seasoned as well. I started practicing Hand Therapy in 1984, took a break for about 10 years, went back just over a year ago. Unfortunately let my certification lapse. Bought this to help me prepare to re-take the CHT exam, and as an aid in teaching a new graduate. I'm very pleased with my choice. The online resources are not as extensive as I hoped, but are useful for visual learners.
I find this textbook very helpful in my every day practice. It has nicely delineated clinical application tips to pay attention to during evaluation and treatment process. Absolutely irreplaceable for a beginner-OT practicing in hand therapy.
I found this book to be incredibility useful. I am a recent OTA graduate hired on for a OTR/L CHT (hand therapist). This book brought me up to speed and ready to start working. I will probably keep this book as a good reference for many years.
I love this book!!. It has a lot of information in a clear way to easy understand. Also anatomy was easy to enjoy :). Examples and pictures help a lot to understand most of the concepts.
Simple yet effective book that has great clinical information for the new student. I would recommend this for anyone wishing to better their understanding of the upper extremity and common diagnoses.
I bought the newer version first and realized I didn't need it. this one is cheaper and has the same information in it. Its also the one that I need for my study.Great quality, too - as new
This text would be very useful for anyone interested in working in upper limb rehabilitation in the future. It offers great insight and information about real life clinical situations likely to be experienced once in the field. Iam very happy with this purchase.
Great resource book. This really helped with getting ready for my Nation Occupational Therapy Boards. I'll know exactly how much after I take my boards.
