What is a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT)?
The hand holds a unique place in our lives as our only creative connection to the world around us. It is undeniable that man’s success as a species is directly related to the sophistication and precision of this powerful and graceful appendage and the way we use our hand is as unique and variable as the finger prints it leaves.
Hand Therapy is an artful science focused on the rehabilitation of the movement and function of the Upper Limb. When an OT or PT becomes a Certified Hand Therapist, they dedicate their profession to the study of the function and rehabilitation of the upper limb. In 1991, in order to assist “consumers and the health care community in identifying those therapists who meet the rigorous standards required of Certified Hand Therapists”, the Hand Therapy Certification Commission (HTCC) established this certification.
The hand certification is the only internationally recognized advanced certification for occupational and physical therapist. The HTCC reports that there are only 5900 CHT’s world-wide today.
