Enhancing your hand therapy practice: Welcoming occupation to the table (February 6, 2024)
Description

ON-DEMAND WEBINAR PURCHASE

Presented by: Dr. Kimberly Henrichon  

Occupation-focused therapy is a core value of the profession (Martini et al., 2022), and the use of occupation-based interventions has been shown to benefit clients undergoing rehabilitation for upper-extremity musculoskeletal conditions (Weinstock-Zlotnick & Mehta, 2019). However, occupational therapists in hand therapy find it particularly challenging to incorporate therapeutic occupation into their practice due to the strong influence of the medical model and the biomechanical frame of reference (Colaianni & Provident, 2010).

This webinar will explore occupation-based concepts as they relate to the specialty of hand therapy. Evidence for the efficacy of occupation-based interventions (OBI) with this population will be reviewed. Documented barriers, including contextual influences, to implementation of OBI in the hand therapy clinic will be presented along with suggested solutions.

After taking part in this webinar, participants will be able to: 

  1. Define occupation-based interventions for hand therapy practice and their efficacy.
  2. Identify stumbling blocks to implementing occupation-based interventions in hand therapy practice along with practical solutions.
