Occupational Therapy

LAS VEGAS — Although multiple, subsequent injections decreased the success rate for treatment of De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, results presented at the American Society for Surgery of the Hand showed a high rate of success with a repeat injection.

Nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists should be knowledgeable about the clinical features and diagnostic procedures of common rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, as well as provide advice on pharmacologic and surgical treatments, according to new EULAR recommendations published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
