Abstract: The occupational therapist meets, in the course of his or her work, people who have difficulty in using their hands for activities of daily living. In these activities there can be difficulty in, or loss of capability of, holding or working with different sorts of tools. The design of the tool itself can cause disability. Knowledge of the function of the hand and the ergonomic aspects of tool design are important professional skills for occupational therapists. This article provides some of the content included in the academic training of occupational therapists in Sweden. Arbetsterapeuten möter i sin yrkesutövning personer som har svårigheter att använda sina händer i vardagliga aktiviteter. Det kan vara svårighet eller förlust av förmågan att hålla i och arbeta med verktyg, av olika slag. Verktygens utformning kan vara orsak till funktionsnedsättningen. Kunskap om handens funktion och ergonomiska aspekter på verktygens utformning är viktig kunskap för arbetsterapeuter. I artikeln presenteras en kunskapsgrund, som anväds i grundutbildningen av arbetsterapeuter i Sverige.
