Background: To investigate the safety and feasibility of six sessions of Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) integrated into an inpatient therapy concept and their influence on walking speed and gait parameters in adult CP patients. Methods: Eleven subjects (male = 8, female = 3, mean age: 23 years and 2 months, ± 4.5…

Little is known about the experience of belonging for full-time, hybrid physical therapy faculty in the United States. Rapid growth of Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) education programs with hybrid curricular models and national physical therapy faculty shortages suggest the importance of exploring faculty belonging, especially given the…

Scholl, Jessica J. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The number of nontraditional students in higher education continues to increase. Despite the increase in the number of nontraditional students overall, the majority of students enrolled in doctor of physical therapy programs are considered traditional. In addition, physical therapy students are among the least racially and ethnically diverse which…

This study explored how U.S. Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs integrate and implement simulation-based learning into their curricula. While recent research takes a broad view of how physical therapy (PT) programs are using simulation, this research sought an in-depth understanding by exploring the questions about (1) how are programs…

Julia Hussien; Diane Ste-Marie – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
The focus of attention literature has shown robust findings for the benefits of providing statements that focus on the movement effect or outcome (external focus of attention [EFOA]) as opposed to focusing on the movement kinematics (internal focus of attention). Observational studies, however, have revealed that physiotherapists use fewer EFOA…

Carroll, Melissa A.; McKenzie, Alison; Tracy-Bee, Mary – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
This viewpoint proposes eight anatomy threshold concepts related to physical therapist education, considering both movement system theory and anatomical competence. Movement system theory provides classifications and terminology that succinctly identifies and describes physical therapy practice from a theoretical and philosophical framework. The…

Service-Learning Effectiveness at Improving Doctor of Physical Therapy Students' Professional Skills
Download full textStephen W. Elam; Alexis Ehrhardt; Patrick Shuler; James Rinella – Journal of Service-Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Service-learning in graduate education is commonly used but has limited studies on its effectiveness. Can service-learning be implemented in graduate education in a way that enhances the experience for the students? Most service-learning research has focused on service-learning at an undergraduate level in nursing, social work, public health, and…

Scholarly practice (SP) is considered a key competency of occupational therapy and physiotherapy. To date, the three sectors--education/research, practice, and policy/regulation--that support SP have been working relatively independently. The goals of this project were to (a) understand how representatives of the three sectors conceptualize SP;…

Background and Purpose: Physical therapy (PT) student academic and clinical success is dependent on their ability to develop clinical reasoning in the first year, especially prior to the first clinical education experience. However, literature has revealed a very low ability of learners to spontaneously transfer basic science knowledge into…

Krista Rompolski; Michael A. Pascoe – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Anatomy with human dissection may help to develop respect for the human body and professionalism; however, dissection may worsen students' attitudes about body weight and adiposity. The purpose of this study was to measure weight bias among Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students enrolled in gross anatomy and determine if, and how the experience…

R. Mazurek; K. Mathieson – Discover Education, 2024
Background: The social, cultural, and ethnic diversity of healthcare workers should match that of the U.S. population to improve health outcomes and decrease health disparities. The population's diversity is increasing, though many health care professions lack diversity in their academic programs. The holistic admissions (HA) process considers an…

Rompolski, Krista L.; Fojas, Christina L.; Taylor, Melissa A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
The purpose of this investigation was to explore the perceptions of the sufficiency and relevancy of physical therapy anatomy education among early, mid, and late career physical therapists. A survey was distributed via email through clinical networks in the greater Mid-Atlantic region, the American Physical Therapy Association Pennsylvania…

Psychomotor skills are an essential aspect of physical therapy (PT) education. Recent studies supported using videoconference technology (VCT) for psychomotor instruction, but research on the use of VCT for psychomotor assessments is limited. Determining VCT's usefulness for psychomotor exams is vital to establish best pedagogical practices. The…

Currently, there is a need for physical therapists to support the expected growth in the field. However, a shortage exists in core Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) faculty holding an academic doctorate. To reverse the shortage, the perceptions of the motives and barriers to pursuing an academic doctorate among DPT faculty needed to be studied. The…
