Summary

This study will compare how well physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, midwives) sense their body position and perform manual tasks. Researchers will measure joint awareness and hand dexterity using simple tests. The goal is to see if physiotherapists' training gives them an edge in these skills.
