Development and Implementation of Calibration Measurement Methods for Physical Therapy Devices

Abstract

Objective: In this study, calibration measurement methods for physical therapy devices were developed to ensure the accuracy of the devices, and therefore to use the device on patients efficiently and safely with the aim of increasing the quality of physical therapy. Although the calibration measurements have been performed for emergency, operation and intensive care devices for many years, physical therapy calibration measurement methods that might be used in the periodic controls of equipments except ultrasound have not yet included in national or international standards.
