In doing so, the authors demonstrate both their wealth of knowledge on hand therapy and their skills in teaching hand therapy. They also reveal their creativity and sense of fun' -- Karen Schultz-Johnson, MS, OTR, FAOTA, CHT, Director, Rocky Mountain Hand Therapy, President, UE TECH, from the foreword
