Brief Summary

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

The study is planned for searching physiotherapists palpation abilities. There were 2 groups of physiotherapists. They were asked for to push target pressures. After making some exercise, the assesment was done again.

Detailed Description

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

2 groups of physiotherapists with different fields of experience were attended to study. Fingers are positioned on the marked area at the center point of the scale. Therapists were asked to apply pressure to the scale with estimated weights of 0.5 kg, 1 kg, 2 kg and 4 kg. In each measurements, the value on the scale was recorded without being shown to the participants. After the measurements, the participants were made to experiment when the digital screen can be seen, in order to teach the physiotherapists how much pressure they applied to reach the target weight. Participants were given a total of 10 minutes for the trials. Then, the digital screen was hidden again, and the therapist was asked to apply 0.5 kg, 1 kg, 2 kg and 4 kg weight in a randomized order and maintain that pressure for 5 seconds. The weight fixed by the therapist for 5 seconds was noted by the researcher; the participant was not informed about the values on the digital screen.
