In my clinic the OTs are usually > specialized in hand therapy and work with patients from the shoulder down. > PT do just about everything in the body except the hand and elbow, we send > those patients to see the OT therapist. The OT from my experience work > with people who got injured on the job and more with people who JUST got > out of surgery. I have found this is true because the OT are very good at > wound care and splint making for those patients. The PTs work with people > like that as well, but it seems to happen less often.
