An Example of End-Digit Preference in Physiotherapy Practice
Abstract
PURPOSE: Standardizing and improving the validity of range of motion (ROM) measurements is of clinical relevance to physiotherapists. The purpose of this study was to assess whether end-digit preference exists in the measurement of knee ROM in people after knee replacement.
METHOD: Following total knee replacement, 100 people underwent active-assisted knee ROM measurements using a goniometer calibrated in 1° increments.
