Example of Introducing VR (Virtual Reality) into Physical Therapist Training Education to Make Education Using Virtual Reality Familiar

Abstract

[Virtual Reality in Medicine and Medical Education] The introduction of virtual reality into education has begun, but it is rare in the field of physiotherapy education. [Introduction of VR Education] Virtual reality has the potential to solve challenges in physiotherapy education. [Development and Issues] We have created VR teaching materials that, with minimal preparation, allow simulation of clinical experience. Issues related to implementation costs, video editing skills, and new teaching methods were raised. [Suggestion] To facilitate the introduction of VR, the distribution of teaching materials using existing services, creation of teaching materials that can be viewed on learners’ existing terminals, and simple goggles are suggested.
