Abstract

STUDY DESIGN

Survey.

INTRODUCTION

App technology may provide a beneficial clinical resource for CHTs.

PURPOSE OF STUDY

This descriptive study examined beneficial components for inclusion in a potential app for certified hand therapists to use as a clinical resource based on a nationwide survey.

METHODS

Certified hand therapist members of the American Society of Hand Therapists were surveyed to evaluate preferences of content to be included in a potential clinical app.

RESULTS

Most of the 341 respondents were Caucasian, female, 51-60 years old, with 21+ years' experience. Respondents preferred home program illustrations, video demonstrations, evidence-based resources, postoperative protocols, and functional outcome measures. Regarding app usage, 26.7% responded "definitely use the app" and 37.5% reported "highly likely to use the app" within a price range of $1-$20.

CONCLUSION

An ideal app should include home program media, evidence-based practice, postoperative protocols, and functional outcome measures related to reported diagnoses encountered in the clinic.
