Thumb CMC osteoarthritis is one of the most common conditions seen in hand therapy. Managing it well takes more than a thumb orthosis and a handout. This 19-page guide gathers the assessment, intervention and patient education tools a CHT uses every day into one clear, evidence-informed resource.

Inside you’ll find:

• Anatomy and presentation: Joint structures, ligament stabilizers, symptoms and risk factors.

• A complete provocative test work-up: Grind, pressure shear, adduction stress and MCP hyperextension tests, with original clinical photos.

• Staging and differential diagnosis: The Eaton–Glickel radiographic staging table, plus anatomical snuffbox landmarks for telling CMC OA apart from scaphoid and De Quervain’s pathology.

• Standardized functional measures: The Kapandji index, pinch and grip testing, and documentation tips that support medical necessity.

• Conservative and surgical management: Orthosis selection, joint protection, kinesiology taping techniques, surgical options and post-op rehab considerations.

• A ready-to-use home exercise program: Thumb IP isolation with MCP blocking, adductor pollicis release, first dorsal interosseous strengthening, joint protection strategies and adaptive equipment.

• A 10-question competency quiz with answer key: Good for CHT exam review or staff in-services.

Who it’s for: OTs, PTs, hand therapy students, and clinicians preparing for the CHT exam.
