简要总结
This is a research project on physical therapy education. Subjects will be recruited using convenience sampling from second-year physical therapy students on the campus of Youngstown State University. There are currently 28 students in the class. All students will be recruited to participate in the study. The objective of the study is to assess student learning of grades of spinal mobilization with real-time objective feedback.
详细描述
Sampling: Subjects will be recruited using convenience sampling from second-year physical therapy students on the campus of Youngstown State University.
Research Design: Randomized controlled trial (RCT). Subjects will be randomly assigned to the experimental group or control group. Subjects will attend a spinal mobilization lecture followed by a practice lab.
Randomization: Once enrolled in the study, each student will be randomly assigned to experimental or control groups. Randomization will occur via a random number generator and allocation will be concealed in opaque envelopes.
Intervention:
The experimental group will use a force sensor (Active5) while learning spinal mobilization during the practice lab portion of the class. The force sensor will provide objective feedback to the students. Each student will be instructed on how to use the Active 5 device prior to utilizing it in the classroom setting. The device can display the amount of force generated by the student on a smartphone or a tablet in real-time so the students would be able to adjust the amount of force.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental
Subjects were able to practice spinal manipulation using the Activ5 device (Activbody, San Diego, CA, USA) for real-time objective visual feedback during in class lecture and lab. Activ5 device has a built-in force sensor that can provide realtime objective visual feedback via a Bluetooth connected mobile device.
干预措施: learning spinal mobilization with a force sensor (Other)
Control
Subjects were taught spinal mobilization using the traditional approach.
干预措施: learning spinal mobilization with a force sensor (Other)
