This book has been helpful in following a hand/UE protocol when you have not received one from the doctor. It also helps if your a new therapist and are not sure where to start with your patient.
Great quick reference

A great quick review reference book, very helpful within a practice setting for easy-to-access information. Information is designed in a diagnosis-treatment summary style, good for therapists looking for a quick reference on common treatment diagnoses. For more detailed info (as one might need for initial instruction or for the CHT exam), one might be better served by the "Rehabilitation of the Hand" volumes. This book is very practical and helpful in day to day practice.
