NCT ID NCT07274839
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using a digital game platform called Ren'Py can improve learning for physiotherapy students. 80 students were split into groups that used traditional teaching, digital materials, or a mix of both. The goal was to see if interactive games help students understand and remember complex topics like electrotherapy better than standard lectures.
