Building a professional community to cultivate learning and promote advocacy for the hand therapy profession in Arkansas
Hand therapy is the art and science of evaluating and treating injuries of the upper extremity including the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, and shoulder. Hand therapists utilize therapeutic interventions to help a person return to their highest level of functioning following injury.
Who can be a CHT?
