Abstract
[Purpose] To clarify the characteristics of diseases dealt with by students during comprehensive clinical training in the final year of physical therapy school, in order to develop insight into appropriate basic physical therapy education. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 206 reports submitted by 103 students, who were in their fourth year at the Department of Physical Therapy in FY2015, were analyzed. The rate of each disease classified in the medical fee calculation system was calculated based on the name of the diagnosis and medical history. [Results] The students dealt with fracture (50; 24%) the most frequently, followed by cerebral infarction (38; 18%) and cerebral hemorrhage (38; 18%). [Conclusion] The most frequent diseases dealt with by students during comprehensive clinical training were fracture, cerebral infarction, and cerebral hemorrhage. Therefore, it may be desirable for physical therapy schools to help students acquire basic physical therapy skills to appropriately deal with these diseases with some advice/guidance as a teaching goal.
