War has negative connotations; nevertheless, this article aims to highlight some of the positive outcomes that have occurred in the fields of occupational therapy (OT) and hand therapy due to war and war-related injuries. From the military background of one of OT's founders, Thomas Kidner, to the valiant efforts of the reconstruction aides, to the origin of hand therapy during the Vietnam War, the military influence has been a powerful force in furthering our profession. This article reviews the unique history of war, the establishment and development of OT and hand therapy, and the contributions from military service members.
战争带有负面含义；然而，本文旨在强调由于战争及与战争相关的创伤，在职业治疗（OT）和手部治疗领域所产生的一些积极成果。从OT的一位创始人托马斯·基德纳的军事背景，到重建助手们的英勇努力，再到越南战争期间手部治疗的起源，军事影响一直是推动我们这个专业发展的一股强大力量。本文回顾了战争的独特历史、OT和手部治疗的建立与发展，以及军人所做出的贡献。
