Abstract
For third year students approaching clinical assessment practice, I ran trial classes with "simulated" patients. The simulated patients were senior students who played the role of hemiplegia in the clinical practice. Groups of 4 or 5 students performed physical therapy evaluations, prepared physical therapy programs and gave presentation of their works. I investigated how well the class was received by questionnaire. The students chose the respective examinations among the state of simulated patient. From the point of view of the students, practice with bedside manner, examination method and measurement, and the preparation of the physical therapy program with fellow students was an excellent experience.
