The Weeks Test
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026

Join Miranda Materi and Josh, both Certified Hand Therapists with over 10 years of experience teaching hand therapy education and more than 50 years of combined clinical expertise. In this session, they discuss how to utilize the Weeks Test to guide clinical decision-making and determine the most appropriate orthosis for treating motion loss.Miranda and Josh break down the test’s interpretation, how to track progress, and how to match orthotic selection—whether static progressive, dynamic, or serial casting—to the underlying limitation. This practical, evidence-informed approach helps therapists apply the Weeks framework confidently in daily practice to improve outcomes for patients with joint stiffness and limited range of motion.
