OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the accuracy of detection of temperature differences among skin sites of lay individuals and manual physical therapists.
METHODS
Forty-four manual physical therapists and 44 lay individuals were recruited. Subjects palpated two temperature-controlled surfaces that ranged in temperature between 30 and 35 °C and varied randomly by 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 °C for 10 s. The subjects were then asked to identify the warmer pad.
RESULTS
Accuracy increased with larger temperature differences. Accuracy of detection of 1 and 3 °C temperature differences was higher in manual physical therapists than lay individuals.
DISCUSSION
Palpation can be used to accurately detecting temperature differences between sites and is more accurately performed by an experienced practitioner.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE

目的
评估非专业人员和手法物理治疗师检测皮肤部位温度差异的准确性。
方法
招募了44名手法物理治疗师和44名非专业人员。受试者触摸两个温度可控的表面，其温度范围在30至35°C之间，随机变化1、2、3、4或5°C，持续10秒。然后要求受试者识别较热的垫子。
结果
温度差异越大，准确性越高。手法物理治疗师检测1°C和3°C温度差异的准确性高于非专业人员。
讨论
触诊可用于准确检测部位之间的温度差异，且经验丰富的从业者操作更准确。
证据级别
3b。
