This paper proposes an electronic prototype of the Grooved Pegboard Test (GPT), which is normally used to test presence hand dexterity. The imitates geometrical dimensions on-the-market GPT device, but it electronic, not manual like one available now for users. suggested device makes automated time calculation between placing first and last peg in their designated locations, instead manually observing a stopwatch during GPT. consists fabricated wooden box, electronics (switches...

It is known that electromagnetic fields and heat generated by shortwave diathermy (SWD) can have adverse effects on living tissue. The purpose of this research to evaluate Jordanian physiotherapists' knowledge pulsed continuous SWD contraindications. And investigate the potential contraindications about which physiotherapists may limited knowledge.This cross-sectional study investigates In 38 private public hospitals, a self-administered questionnaire survey was carried out. Participants...
