Two of the Christine M. Kleinert Institute's most visible services are The Hand Therapy Center and the Orthotic Care Center. These clinics help patients gain or regain optimal use of their hands and upper extremities. While many patients come to the centers following a visit to the hand surgeons at Kleinert Kutz, the therapy and orthotic services are available to any individual needing treatment.
