Exploring the Perception and integration of AI-based learning Tools in Physiotherapy: A Qualitative Survey study

The rapid development of artificial intelligence based learning tools has influenced various fields of education including physiotherapy. However, limited evidence exists regarding the perception and integration of these tools among physiotherapy students. This study aims to explore the perceptions, experiences and attitudes of physiotherapy students towards artificial intelligence based learning tools in physiotherapy education.

This is an observational qualitative exploratory study. Undergraduate and postgraduate physiotherapy students will be recruited through purposive sampling. Data will be collected using semi structured interviews after obtaining written informed consent. The interviews will explore awareness, usage patterns, perceived benefits, challenges and suggestions regarding artificial intelligence based learning tools.

The collected data will be analyzed using thematic analysis to identify common themes and patterns. The findings of this study may help in understanding student perspectives and guide effective integration of artificial intelligence based learning tools in physiotherapy education.
