A Pilot Study of a Synchronous Virtual Ultrasound Imaging Module for Physiotherapy Education

Findings suggest that a single virtual USI training session can enhance short-term knowledge and engagement among physiotherapy students. While results indicate promise for future curricular exploration, conclusions are limited to short-term learning outcomes in a single pilot cohort. As USI gains recognition as a valuable point-of-care diagnostic tool for neuromusculoskeletal evaluation, scalable and accessible educational approaches are needed to facilitate curricular integration.

Abstract

Findings suggest that a single virtual USI training session can enhance short-term knowledge and engagement among physiotherapy students. While results indicate promise for future curricular exploration, conclusions are limited to short-term learning outcomes in a single pilot cohort. As USI gains recognition as a valuable point-of-care diagnostic tool for neuromusculoskeletal evaluation, scalable and accessible educational approaches are needed to facilitate curricular integration.
