A telephone survey of 231 occupational and physical therapists was conducted to determine goniometric instrumentation and placement preferences for measuring the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints of the upper extremity. The variables included were academic degree, hand therapy certification, years of therapy experience, years of specialty hand experience, and preferences for goniometric instrumentation and placement. Descriptive statistics revealed a highly experienced population (mean, 11 years) who predominantly preferred the 6" cut-off clear and metal goniometers. Eight additional instruments were also noted. Dorsal placement of the goniometer was preferred by 73% of the practitioners. Lateral placement was occasionally preferred (by 20%) in difficult clinical situations. Seven percent of the practitioners reported always preferring the lateral method. Chi-square analyses revealed no significant relationships between the variables.
对231名职业治疗师和物理治疗师进行了电话调查，以确定测量上肢近端和远端指间关节时角度测量仪器及放置位置的偏好。纳入的变量包括学术学位、手部治疗认证、治疗经验年限、手部专科经验年限以及角度测量仪器和放置位置的偏好。描述性统计显示，这是一个经验丰富的群体（平均11年），他们主要更喜欢6英寸刻度清晰的金属角度测量仪。还提到了另外八种仪器。73%的从业者更喜欢将角度测量仪放置在背侧。在困难的临床情况下，偶尔会有人更喜欢侧面放置（20%）。7%的从业者报告总是更喜欢侧面测量方法。卡方分析显示各变量之间无显著关系。
