Hand Therapy Assessments for Use with International Technicians (HTAIT)

Hand Therapy Assessments for Use with International Technicians (HTAIT) is a simple, easy to use needs assessment intended to help identify current knowledge as well as areas for growth in the rehabilitation of the hand and upper extremity. The target population includes hand therapists and non-profit organizations preparing to travel internationally. This tool can be administered to international technicians, nurses, or healthcare staff at a host institution that have been identified as participants of the learning opportunity. The HTAIT consists of four assessment modules that can be used together or independently depending on purpose of the trip: Basic Upper Extremity Anatomy, Wound Care & Scar Remodeling, Orthotic Principles and Rehabilitation. The scoring rubric and grid allow the instructor to use the score(s) in identifying the technician’s most likely learning level. The results of the HTAIT allow for tailored training, demonstration, and learning opportunities by assisting the visiting therapist or organization in determining the level of competency in a host therapy technician. Targeted learning opportunities lead to a more effective experience for both the visiting and host practitioners, while increasing the likelihood of long-term carryover of occupational therapy principles.
