About this study
Official title: Investigation of Palpation Pressure Sensitivity of Physiotherapists
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.
Read the detailed description
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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Measurement Palpation Pressure with Digital Scale
The digital scale will used to assess the palpation pressure of participants. This digital scale is designed for a measurement range of 1-10.000 gr. Palpation pressures will measure at baseline and after education to see whether any changes.
