Summary
This study looked at whether physiotherapy students learn better by working with real older adults (service-learning) or by practicing without real patients. 83 students were split into two groups. The goal was to see how each method affected their motivation, engagement, and empathy. The study did not test any treatment for patients, only how students learn.
