A QUIZ ON HAND THERAPY IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT

Corrianne van Velze compiled a CD Rom on hand therapy which takes the form of a tutor programme. The CD Rom contains hundreds of photographs which could be useful to you in your practice, especially if you want to illustrate something to your patients. It is also a useful source of reference, especially if you encounter a condition you do not see frequently.

This is a new concept: hundreds of photographs which illustrate a large variety of common upper limb conditions, presented in a quiz format.

Content

Students and therapists are invited to work through the CD to enhance their basic knowledge of hand therapy. All questions are illustrated with clear photographs, diagrams, videos and animations and provide detailed answers. This means that students not only test their knowledge, but also receive additional information to enhance their understanding and practice of hand therapy. The many photographs can be used to illustrate certain conditions which makes it a handy tool to use with patients. CPD accreditation has been applied for. This means that, in future, therapists may answer certain questions on-line and thereby augment their CPD points for a given year. HPCSA registration number should be included on the order form.
