An interventional study of training with visual feedback and classical learning in Training and Students, sponsored by Hacettepe University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-10-22.
Sponsored by Hacettepe University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test is one of the most widely used and objective clinical tests for assessing the sense of touch. Some guides include standard instructions for the application of the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test. With monofilaments applied correctly by the instructions, patients' threshold values can be determined accurately. However, there are disagreements about the accuracy of the pressure applied by the therapist who applies the monofilament to the patient. The investigators aimed to compare the application of the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test to undergraduate students of the occupational therapy department by teaching it using classical methods and visual feedback.
Hacettepe University is the lead sponsor of 983 studies on the registry; 212 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Inclusion Criteria:
The students in the study group will do monofilament applications on a precision scale. They will be provided with visual feedback by comparing the value of the monofilament with the pressure value of the monofilament applied on the precision scale in grams. In this way, the students will visually experience whether they can provide the appropriate level of pressure during the application. The practice on the precision scale will continue for 15-20 minutes with the monofilaments in the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test kit.
Other: training with visual feedback
The students in the control group will do practical applications with the classical learning method, where one of the researchers plays the patient role. They will do application trials with the monofilaments in the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test kit for 15-20 minutes.
Other: classical learning
Training with visual feedback by comparing the value of the monofilament with the pressure value of the monofilament applied on the precision scale in grams.
