Hand Therapy Commission (HTCC) Certification Exam

Hand Therapy Commission (HTCC) The HTCC sets itself apart by narrowing focus to the upper extremity’s intricate anatomy and pathology—hand surgeries, tendon repairs, and nerve injuries—whereas broader rehabilitation certifications spread across full-body systems. Occupational and physical therapy credentials address movement more generally; this exam demands specialized knowledge of hand-specific therapeutic protocols and surgical outcomes that generalist credentials simply don’t require.
