Brief Summary

This project uses self-practicing videos feedback to learn to improve the skill performance of physiotherapy interns. For traditional physiotherapy intern courses, teachers will conduct core courses and demonstrate teaching, but students are less familiar with the application of skills, even if adding practice course. The learning outcomes of the course are still not good in skill performance. By recording the self-practicing videos, the teacher uses observation and feedback to let the physiotherapy interns know whether the posture of the individual case, the fixed position of the limbs are appropriate, the resistance given and whether the verbal instruction is correct, and based on the evaluation outcomes to observe the students' learning status and clinical thinking ability can improve the skill performance and learning satisfaction.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)

    Evaluators utilize a detailed, operationally defined standardized checklist to assess the performance of examinees in a structured clinical skills assessment. This instructional design aims to aid students in learning and understanding their learning outcomes, evaluating the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the examinees through a performance-based testing approach. The scoring sheet includes an standardized checklist and an overall performance assessment. The standardized checklist comprises 15 items, with results presented in percentages, where higher scores indicate better performance. The overall performance assessment ranges from 5 points (excellent) to 1 point (poor).

    pre-test, within 1 week post test, 3-month follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX)

    pre-test, within 1 week post test, 3-month follow-up

  • Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS)

    pre-test, within 1 week post test, 3-month follow-up

  • Course Satisfaction

Study Arms (2)

Practice Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in this group engage in the traditional core course, followed by a 20-minute practical session where they pair up for mutual hands-on practice. The assessment of upper limb soft tissue operations takes approximately 4 minutes per session, allowing for approximately 5 practice sessions.

Other: Practice Group

Video Feedback Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive the traditional core course along with a 20-minute video feedback session. Initially, a therapist records students' assessment techniques in action, capturing the dynamic process on video. The recorded video is then played on a screen for both the course teacher and students to watch together. Participants can annotate specific actions during the viewing, and the course teacher facilitates a reflective discussion where participants observe and identify any issues or correct actions as expected. The teacher provides feedback on areas of improvement in the action process for further practice. The self-viewing of the recorded video serves as a valuable tool for enhancing the skill performance of physical therapy interns.

Other: Practice GroupOther: Video Feedback Group

Interventions

Participants in this group engage in the traditional core course (1-hour lecture on upper limb soft tissue differential diagnosis and assessment techniques. They have the opportunity to observe teacher demonstrations, and the course content and instructional demonstrations are consistent and delivered by the same therapist), followed by a 20-minute practical session where they pair up for mutual hands-on practice. The assessment of upper limb soft tissue operations takes approximately 4 minutes per session, allowing for approximately 5 practice sessions.

Practice GroupVideo Feedback Group

Participants receive the traditional core course (as the same in the practice group) along with a 20-minute video feedback session. Initially, a therapist records students' assessment techniques in action, capturing the dynamic process on video. The recorded video is then played on a screen for both the course teacher and students to watch together. Participants can annotate specific actions during the viewing, and the course teacher facilitates a reflective discussion where participants observe and identify any issues or correct actions as expected. The teacher provides feedback on areas of improvement in the action process for further practice. The self-viewing of the recorded video serves as a valuable tool for enhancing the skill performance of physical therapy interns.
