Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Examine the accuracy of visual estimates of various joint angles by physical therapists at various levels of education and clinical practice, taking into account years of experience, areas of practices and specialty certifications.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Physical therapists oftentimes will estimate rather than measure joint range of motion. The accuracy of visual estimates of various joint measurements has not been previously assessed. No comparison has been done for years of experience and accuracy of estimations. This study will create a survey with pictures of joints at previously measured angles and therapists and students will be asked to estimate the range of motion. Various statistical analyses will be performed to determine accuracy and comparisons.
