    Area of Science:

    • Physical Therapy Education
    • Clinical Practice Analysis

    Background:

    • Clinical education is crucial for physical therapy (PT) students.
    • Understanding the content of these programs is essential for quality assurance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the content of physical therapy students' clinical education programs.
    • To gather data on patient demographics, conditions, treatments, and educational activities.

    Main Methods:

    • A three-year survey involving 176 physical therapy students.
    • Utilized patient and student record forms to collect data on various program aspects.
    • Total student study hours amounted to 105,600.

    Main Results:

    • Musculoskeletal disorders were the most frequent patient conditions (47.26%).
    • Fractures of the lower extremities represented 10.5% of these disorders.
    • Therapeutic exercise was the predominant treatment modality (57.3%).

    Conclusions:

    • Findings provide valuable data for evaluating current physical therapy curricula.
    • Results can inform the development of enhanced, practice-specific educational programs.
