    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Therapy
    • Physical Therapy Modalities
    • Curriculum Development

    Background:

    • Occupational therapy students lacked academic preparation for physical therapy modalities used in patient treatment.
    • A curriculum fieldwork coordinator identified a gap between student education and clinical practice requirements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the types of physical therapy modalities utilized in occupational therapy practice.
    • To assess the extent of physical therapy modality use across different geographic regions.
    • To identify emerging treatment areas and changes in the use of traditional therapeutic media within occupational therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • A collaborative effort between two academic occupational therapy programs.
    • Distribution of a 48-item questionnaire to fieldwork centers nationwide.
