OT Student Perceptions of the Use of Occupation-Based Interventions in Hand Therapy

Abstract

Abstract Date Presented 04/02/2022 This study determined OT students’ knowledge and perceptions of the use of occupation-based interventions in hand therapy. Findings suggest there is a disconnect between students’ knowledge of occupation-based interventions in relation to hand therapy, and OT curricula need to incorporate more occupation-based content into hand therapy education to ensure OTs practicing in hand therapy do not lose touch with the core of the profession.
