Description

<p>[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the current state of observation and experience of lower extremity orthoses in clinical training. [Participants and Methods] The subjects were 44 students of a physical therapy department of a three-year vocational school. A questionnaire survey was conducted immediately after clinical training (once in the second grade, twice in the third grade). The questionnaire consisted of age, gender, types of clinical training facilities, current state of observation and experience of lower extremity orthoses, knowledge and techniques felt necessary for clinical training, interest in orthoses, and triggers of interest in orthoses. [Results] The observation of practice with orthoses had a high frequency (93.2%), but experience with orthoses was not sufficient. In relation to the types of facilities, convalescent rehabilitation wards offered the opportunity of observation and experience of lower extremity orthoses, though these were mostly acute phase orthoses. [Conclusion] It is necessary to reduce the differences in the types of facilities used for clinical training.</p>
