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.
