Country guide methodology

Card ordering and numeric highlights use facts we tie to public sources (statistics, agencies, and registries) where available. Separately, each country may show an editorial Content roadmap panel: short notes on how much public guide copy exists so far, regulator orientation for software-based medical devices where relevant, and plain-language market context. That panel is not legal clearance, clinical advice, or a ranking of care quality. Draft roadmap items can appear while reviews are still in progress; we show them only to set expectations about why some hubs receive deeper guides first.

Practice on this site

Country cards are planning context only — open guided exercises, movement language, or the orientation-only recovery marketplace on the same site.

Legal notices for this hub (informational)

HandTherapy.app provides general education and self-management tools. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not create a clinician–patient relationship. Stop exercises and seek care if symptoms worsen or new red-flag symptoms appear. See the medical disclaimer for emergencies and limits.

Country cards use cited public references for planning and education. Numbers and classifications are proxies, may be incomplete, and can change. They are not individualized market, legal, or clinical guidance.
