Beyond “YouTube clips”: a qualitative study of manual therapy educators’ perceptions of 3D technology in MT education
The participants not only critiqued the current teaching methods employed in MT but also their role as an MT educator. While acknowledging the paradigm shift in MT education, participants believed that emerging technologies such as VR are transformative tools for MT education. Future research to explore the added utility of technology such as VR to traditional teaching methods is required.
