Are you an educator seeking to enrich your curriculum and provide your students with real-life clinical experiences?
We are thrilled to introduce the Neurologic Case Studies app, an innovative tool designed to elevate your teaching and deepen your students' understanding of neurological conditions.
Explore the Neurologic Case Studies App
The Neurologic Case Studies app is an extensive collection of videos featuring real neurologic patients performing various functional and occupational tasks. This invaluable resource allows you to organize information by diagnosis, impairment, or outcome measure, facilitating easy navigation and comparison of different patients' conditions and treatments.
This app highlights an interdisciplinary approach to patient care, featuring Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Language Pathology clinicians working together to treat real patients. By synthesizing clinical information related to patients with neurological impairments, this resource provides your students with a comprehensive view of patient care.
Develop Clinical Reasoning with Customizable Worksheets
The app also includes a downloadable and fully customizable Subjective Examination Clinical Reasoning Worksheet and an Objective Examination Clinical Reasoning Worksheet. These tools are designed to enhance your students' critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills by guiding them through detailed patient assessments and treatment planning.
Bring Real-World Clinical Scenarios into Your Classroom
The Neurologic Case Studies app allows you to bring the complexity of real-world clinical scenarios into your classroom. By incorporating videos of real patients, you can offer your students valuable insights into the challenges and intricacies of treating neurological conditions. This app serves as a bridge between theory and practice, preparing your students for their future roles as physical therapists.
