In 1994, a practice analysis (role delineation study) was conducted on the profession of hand therapy. This study was conducted as a follow-up to the original study conducted by the American Society of Hand Therapists (ASHT) in 1985. A representative group of content experts developed a description of hand-therapy practice, and this description was validated using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to a random sample of 400 certified hand therapists (CHTs), of whom 50% responded. The respondents provided confirmation of the accuracy of the description of hand therapy. The survey results were used to update the test specifications for the Hand Therapy Certification Examination. The results enabled the Hand Therapy Certification Commission to improve upon its certification program by clarifying and expanding the definition of hand therapy. The 1994 findings were also compared with the results of the 1985 study.
1994年，对手部治疗专业进行了一项实践分析（角色界定研究）。该研究是美国手部治疗师协会（ASHT）1985年开展的原始研究的后续研究。一组有代表性的内容专家制定了手部治疗实践的描述，并通过问卷调查对该描述进行了验证。问卷被分发给400名认证手部治疗师（CHT）的随机样本，其中50%进行了回复。受访者证实了手部治疗描述的准确性。调查结果被用于更新手部治疗认证考试的测试规范。这些结果使手部治疗认证委员会能够通过澄清和扩展手部治疗的定义来改进其认证计划。1994年的研究结果还与1985年研究的结果进行了比较。
