Physio students level up: games teach better fear management
NCT ID NCT07334899
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using games in class helps physiotherapy students learn how to treat patients who are afraid of movement (kinesiophobia). About 94 students took part, with some learning through games and others through standard teaching. The goal was to see if the game-based approach improved their skills and attitudes.
