本研究的目的是比较(1)人工触诊和新型心电图仪之间以及(2)不同力量水平之间的重测变异性和准确性。16名临床医生被指示在力计上使用手动触诊和新的血压计(当达到正确的压力时，用小销子触摸检查者的手的可调式弹簧线圈)，以达到0.5、1.0和2.0公斤的目标。在所有的实验中，都记录了10个连续的力水平测量。比较实验和目标水平之间的变异系数(CV)、实际力量水平以及目标水平和实际力量水平之间的相对差异。在力量依赖的情况下，新触诊仪的所有结果参数的值都显著低于手动触诊(p<；0.004)。所有目标级别之间的CVS和实际兵力水平有显著差异(P<；0.004)。新的脉搏计具有较低的重测变异性，并提供比人工触诊更准确的压力刺激。
The aims of this study were to compare test-retest variability and accuracy measures between (1) manual palpation and a novel palpometer and (2) different force levels. Sixteen clinicians were instructed to target 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 kg on a force meter using manual palpation and the new palpometer (adjustable spring-coil with a small pin touching the examiner's hand when the correct pressure is reached). In all experiments, 10 consecutive measures of the force levels were recorded. The coefficient of variation (CV), actual force levels, and relative differences between target level and actual force level were compared between experiments and target levels. All outcome parameters had significantly lower values for the new palpometer than for manual palpation in a force-dependent manner (p < 0.004). CVs and actual force levels were significantly different between all target levels (p < 0.004). The new palpometer had low test-retest variability and provides a more accurate pressure stimulus than manual palpation.
