本篇研究的目的乃是在瞭解目前台灣服務於生理疾患之職能治療人員在臨床上常用之治療媒介，探討影響治療人員選擇治療媒介的因素，及治療媒介的選用與治療人員的基本特性之關係。
本研究採問卷方式進行。總共寄發410份問卷，回收199份，回收率為48.5%。其中從事成人生理疾患之職能治療人員僅85位。根據這些資料進行描述及推論統計分析。結果顯示最常用之活動為磨沙箱活動、丟沙包、主動／被動／自我協助關節運動、及轉位或行動能力訓練。自我照顧活動居次要地位；而不常用之活動包含：所有之美勞工藝類活動、除了低溫成形副木製作之外的其他支架之製作、複雜型日常生活活動訓練、工作能力評估及訓練、認知知覺訓練及物理性治療媒介之使用。
影響治療工作人員選擇活動的因素，除了與治療工作人員之學習經驗、工作經驗、醫院之設備及病患之能力等有關外，還與治療工作人員之會員身份及性別有關。
