Kinematic characteristics of manual guidance across expertise levels in a motion reproduction task: implications for physical therapist education.

PubMed / J Phys Ther Sci · 2026-10-05 · By Suzuki H, Wagatsuma K · Journal of physical therapy science

A study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science examined how kinematic features of manual guidance differ between physical therapists with varying levels of clinical experience during a motion reproduction task. The research analyzed movement characteristics to identify what distinguishes expert manual guidance from that of novices, with the goal of informing how hands-on skills are taught in PT education programs. Findings have potential implications for structuring clinical training curricula to help students develop more effective manual therapy techniques.
