Engaging Patients for Physical Exams During Virtual Care Visits
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to validate patient-oriented edits to a guided video on self-performed hand examination in participants with no prior hand diagnoses or medical background. The study aims to:
-
examine the effect of adding interactive components to an existing orthopedic provider video
-
determine if these changes enhance patients' understanding of hand and wrist anatomy as well as carpal tunnel syndrome
-
determine if patients are able to use this video to perform an effective physical exam Participants will watch an original physician-oriented training video and a second version (patient-oriented video), which was edited with the input of a patient advisory committee to include interactive elements and a slower speed. The order in which the participants will watch the video will be randomized.
If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare knowledge scores and general patient preference between the two videos being examined.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Knowledge Score immediately following the viewing of a video presenting the knowledge [10 minutes after viewing the video]
Score of the quiz examining the understanding of the contents of the video by the participants
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Knowledge Score immediately prior to the viewing of a video presenting the knowledge [10 minutes before viewing the video]
Score of the quiz examining the participants' understanding prior to watching the video
