简要总结
The objective of this clinical trial is to assess manual therapists' attitudes towards using a sensing-glove system for measuring spinal manipulation force and to compare the effectiveness of two interventions in enhancing their attitudes. The primary questions it aims to address are:
- Are manual therapists receptive to employing a sensing-glove system to measure the force applied during spinal manipulations on patients?
- Can we enhance manual therapists' attitudes towards this system through either a brief informational video demonstration or a supervised practice session with the system?
Researchers will compare the impact of a 7-minute informational video to that of a 20-minute supervised practice session to determine if manual therapists' attitudes towards the use of a sensing-glove while treating their patients can be positively influenced.
Participants will:
- Engage in a single experimental session.
- Complete a questionnaire at the beginning of the experimental session.
- Undergo one of the two interventions and promptly complete two questionnaires following this intervention.
- Undergo the other intervention and promptly complete the same two questionnaires following this intervention.
详细描述
This study aimed to evaluate manual therapists' acceptability of a sensing-glove system for measuring spinal manipulation's force-time characteristics and compare the effectiveness of two interventions in enhancing their acceptability and usability perception. Participants will undergo two acceptability-enhancing interventions in randomized order: a 7-minute informational video and a 20-minute supervised practice session. At the start of the session and after each intervention, the acceptability and perception of usability towards the system will be assessed.

结局指标
主要结局
Acceptability
时间窗: Immediately following each intervention and at baseline
French version of the questionnaire based on the extended version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2). A higher score indicates a higher level of acceptability.
Usability
时间窗: Immediately following each intervention
French version of the System usability scale (F-SUS). A higher score indicates a higher level of usability.
