田口方法應用在科技工業領域的成功案例已多到不勝枚舉，但舉目醫療領域卻遲遲未將能提升品質及降低成本的田口方法帶入；本研究介紹使用田口博士發明的L8直交表，設計實驗參，實驗中三個控制因子是腕掌關節、指間關節和掌指關節，每個關節設有兩個水準，由田口方法的參數找出最佳化的施力角度，因為每個人有先天上基因的差距，所以必須利用客製化來製作物理治療師的手部拇指護具，依客製化而言，田口的實驗設計是最快速並且有效的方法。
本研究對拇指品質特性影響使用信號噪音比和變異數分析進行實驗分析。實驗的結果也證明田口的參數設計方法符合文獻角度結果，在決定手部防護設備上的應用不但非常快速而且結果也符合人體工學的文獻。本研究也替實驗結果的角度模擬護具圖形，希望在今後的研究能夠繼續進行臨床試驗，以確認這個護具的保護效果，並且可以針對多個指頭在合併研究及實驗。最後總結，這項研究的主要在解決物理治療師的職業傷害，以及為醫療研究人員提供田口方法使用在醫療領域的雛形，希望田口方法這個好的日後能對醫療領域有好的影響。

Researchers of industrial quality have often suggested that experimental cost and yield about quality manager would likely affect their use of quality method and ultimate success in experimental performance. In the industry, Taguchi methods used had been considerably. However, research which has empirically documented the link between medical experiments and their use of Taguchi method is scant. This paper presents the experiments have been designed using an L8 orthogonal array with three factors and two levels each, in order to customized physiotherapist’s hand protective device by Taguchi method of parameter design. Because everyone has inherent genetic differences,
so, we must use customized to make physical therapist hand thumb protector. Taguchi experimental design is the most rapid and effective method for customized.
