Extrinsic feedback from a feedback device promotes the learning of range of motion measurements.

[Purpose] Although it is widely recognized that feedback is important for skill acquisition or improvement, feedback is not completely utilized in physical therapy education. Therefore, we aimed to verify the effect of extrinsic feedback from a feedback device on proficiency in range of motion measurements by a universal goniometer. [Participants and Methods] The participants included 22 physical therapy students who were randomly assigned to feedback (n=11) and non-feedback groups (n=11).
