Video cases could sharpen physio Students' Danger-Detection skills

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether using standardized video-based clinical cases can improve how well physiotherapy students identify 'red flags'—signs of serious conditions like cancer or infection that need a doctor's referral. About 400 bachelor students will watch videos of patient consultations and decide if the case is critical, non-critical, or needs monitoring. The goal is to see if this training boosts their screening accuracy compared to traditional teaching methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- video-based clinical case training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better training methods that help physiotherapy students more accurately identify serious medical conditions, improving patient safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is an educational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not translate to real-world clinical practice, and the impact on actual patient outcomes is unknown.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must meet the following criteria to be eligible for inclusion in the study: Enrollment in a Bachelor-level physiotherapy program at one of the participating universities. Students currently in the clinical phase of their education (e.g., semesters 3-6), when foundational knowledge in musculoskeletal assessment and clinical reasoning has already been introduced. Ability to understand and complete video-based clinical case assessments in the language used for the study. Provision of written informed consent to participate in the study. Willingness to complete both baseline and follow-up assessments within the study period. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants will be excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: Students in early semesters who have not yet received basic training in clinical assessment and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Students who have previously completed advanced external training specifically focused on red flag screening or differential diagnosis, which could bias baseline competency levels. Inability to complete the online video-based assessments due to technical limitations or language barriers. Failure to provide informed consent. Incomplete participation in the baseline assessment, making comparison with post-intervention outcomes impossible.
