Physiopedia and Queen’s University work together to create high quality resources for physical therapists around the world through a Physiopedia Content Development Project.
Physiopedia's mission is to create a platform where physical therapists around the world have access to free, high quality, evidence-based information. Many of the pages on Physiopedia are created and reviewed by qualified volunteers, but there are several bespoke pages that were developed as part of a content development project. These projects offer academic institutions, clinics and professional associations the opportunity to share their knowledge and expertise with physiotherapists around the world. This is especially important when physical or personal clinical internships, conferences, and meetings of students have been interrupted.
We have been working with Queen & # 39; s University since 2017 to develop a unique module for the MSc Neuromotor students. Groups of 3 to 5 students work together to create high quality evidence-based case studies that demonstrate their knowledge and understanding and substantiate their learning outcomes.
This year's student contributions are excellent and freely available for others to learn from. The students presented some great case studies on a wide variety of neurological disorders. Each case study includes a detailed patient profile and covers topics such as assessment, goal setting, treatment interventions, measuring and monitoring interventions using outcome measures, and a discussion to bring it all together. Here are some examples of the best case studies:
Case studies are a useful resource for presenting cases, solidifying learning and sharing experiences, which is why Queens selected this as their bespoke module within Physiopedia. As physical therapists, we know that there is always more than one approach when interacting with our patients and the interventions we use will be based on their individual needs and goals.
A big thank you to the faculty and students at Queen & # 39; s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada for their great contributions this year. You are all really amazing!
