About this study
Official title: The Knowledge Gaps of Amputee Rehabilitation Course Content in Physiotherapy Curriculum According to International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)
Understanding the knowledge gaps of amputee rehabilitation course content is essential for addressing these gaps. Identifying the course contents according to International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) can be a starting point for determining the gaps. This study aimed to investigate which amputee-specific ICF categories are underemphasized in the course content.
Read the detailed description
For understanding the knowledge gaps of amputee rehabilitation course content, a total of 59 amputee-specific ICF categories were asked to the academics whether these categories are present in the amputee rehabilitation course content. Academics were asked to answer "yes" or "no" to each question. Cochrane Q test was used to test for differences between the frequencies of ICF categories.
Sleep functions, high-level cognitive functions in the field of body functions, writing and handling stress in the activity sub-domain, most of the categories in the participation sub-domain and environmental factors were significantly underemphasized in the course content.This study identifies the knowledge gaps of amputee rehabilitation course content in physiotherapy curriculum.
