About Wendy Tomhave

Background

Wendy Tomhave, OTR/L, has practiced rehabilitation services and clinical research at Shriners Children’s Twin Cities since 1992. She completed her undergraduate studies at Saint Catherine University, which included a specialized internship in hand rehabilitation. Her quest for knowledge through clinical research has led to invitations to present findings at local, state, national, and international conferences. She is cited as a co-author in 14 scientific publications including the Journal of Hand Surgery and the Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics. Her work is included in a chapter on congenital hand differences in Elsevier’s Rehabilitation of the Hand and Upper Extremity. She is a co-developer of the Unilateral Below Elbow Test (U-BET) and primary developer of the Thumb Grasp and Pinch Assessment (T-GAP). The T-GAP’s validated measures for age-appropriate tasks of grasp and pinch, with its associated hierarchy and nomenclature, has become an international standard.
