Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) Practice Exam

The effectiveness of interventions in hand therapy is assessed through regular re-evaluations. This process allows the Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) to systematically evaluate the patient's progress and response to treatment over time. Regular assessments give insight into whether the goals set for the patient are being met and help in making necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. This approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and ensures that therapy remains relevant to the patient's evolving condition.

While personal judgment, patient surveys, and treatment costs may provide some insights into treatment effectiveness, they lack the comprehensive nature that regular re-evaluations offer. Personal judgment alone can introduce bias, and patient surveys, while useful, do not always capture the clinical nuances. Additionally, treatment costs may be a factor in overall assessment but do not reflect clinical effectiveness or patient outcomes directly. Thus, using regular re-evaluations stands out as the most robust and reliable method for assessing intervention effectiveness in therapy.
