A Qualitative Approach on the Use of Occupation Based Practice in Hand Therapy

Abstract

There is growing interest in occupation-based practice (OBP) as it applies to hand therapy. While leaders in occupational therapy strongly advocate for the primary use of OBP in all practice areas of occupational therapy, some question the broad application of OBP into the hand therapy specialty practice. This study sought to describe the perception and application of OBP among occupational therapy practitioners in hand therapy.
