Part 1 of 2: Hand Therapy Virtual Symposium

Description

Join us as we dive deep into hand therapy clinical topics and cover evidence-based insights from industry experts. Through lectures, case examples, and interactive Q&A sessions with each speaker, you’ll learn best practices and develop practical skills on complex topics to support your clients’ hand therapy rehabilitation journeys.

The symposium will include the following presentations:

● Presentation 1: Wound Care Essentials for the Hand Therapist

● Presentation 2: Rehabilitation of Nerve Transfers: Principles, Application, and Case Studies

● Presentation 3: Relative Motion: Not Just an Orthosis

This symposium is the first in a two-part series.

To be eligible for CEU credit, participants must register, attend, and complete both parts of the Hand Therapy Virtual Symposium in full. Additionally, participants are required to complete a learning quiz and a post-webinar survey, both of which will only become available after attending both parts. Partial credit will not be given.

Please refer to Part 2 for specific accreditation information

■ Apply the concepts of relative motion to an extensor tendon repair
■ Implement the use of a relative motion orthosis for a specific condition to facilitate improved patient participation in daily activities
