Custom made hand splints and physiotherapy (joint mobilisations, stretching, active and resisted exercises, ultrasound) to help patients regain full use of their hand and extremities.
Hand therapy is the non-surgical management of hand disorders and injuries using physical methods such as exercise, splinting and wound care. Hand therapists also treat other upper limb disorders that affect hand function.
Some hand therapists also undertake diagnosis and treatment of common hand disorders, including injections and requesting and interpretation of x-rays. Hand Therapy is a type of rehabilitation for patients that suffer from conditions affecting the hands and upper limbs to regain the functional use of their hands.
The role of Hand Therapy:
After surgery, hand therapists can also help with a patient’s recovery. This may include managing the scar, reducing swelling and providing a splint.
