Reliability of Occupational Therapy Students Using the Figure-of-eight Technique of Measuring Hand Volume

Conclusion This study demonstrated that five occupational therapy students in the 4th year of a 5-year curriculum were reliable raters for hand volume using the figure-of-eight technique, after being trained and tested for competency. The students can use the figure-of-eight technique for systematically assessing hand volume with confidence in their clinical fieldwork.
