sandyremington on 13 Oct 14Information in this article includes edema control, wound/scar management, range of motion, splinting, strengthening, and soft-tissue mobilization. There is also information on desensitization and sensory reeducation following hand injury; such as using towels and immersion in various substances. Additionally, modalities are discussed such as fluidotherapy (heat), cryotherapy (cold), continuous passive motion (increases circulation, decreases edema) along with other modalities. Good information about treatment options for hand therapy.

Kellie Hudgens on 15 Oct 14I really like this resource. If you are doing level II fieldwork at an outpatient hand therapy setting you must print this and use it! I wish I had it when I was at KOC first semester. Great resource.
