Tips for Using Immersive Cases: Borrowing from Simulations

IMMERSIVE CASE SERIES for O’Sullivan & Schmitz’s Physical Rehabilitation , 8th edition George D. Fulk, PT, PhD, FAPTA | Kevin K. Chui, PT, DPT, PhD, GCS, OCS, CEEAA, FAAOMPT The immersive case series adheres to a standardized format allowing clinical experts to skillfully lead students through the clinical decision-making process of evaluation and treatment of seven distinct patients experiencing one of six unique health conditions. Rooted in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework, the cases are thoughtfully divided into eight segments, with the exception of Case E, which is presented as a condensed mini case. The segment composition varies from case to case with each segment incorporating an activity designed to refine students’ clinical decision-making skills. Throughout the case, subject matter experts remain a constant presence, providing invaluable guidance at every step. They draw attention to key points, ensuring students not only observe but also comprehend the nuances of each case.

Immersive Case A: A Patient with Long COVID/Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 Presented by Dr. Jenna Tucker, PT, DPT, Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy Dr. Lauren Ziaks, PT, DPT, ATC, Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy

An interactive case that guides students through the interview, examination, evaluation, and development of a plan of care for a 25-year-female with long COVID/ post-acute sequelae of COVID-19. Students will prepare for the interview, plan for and observe portions of the examination, analyze examination results to create assessment statements and goals, and link interventions to goals. Throughout the case, students will be guided and receive feedback from a subject matter expert. The case builds on information from the examination section, chapters 1-9. The videos in the case show a clinical presentation of a patient with dysautonomia making the case an excellent activity for students as they learn about dysautonomia as it relates to other health conditions, such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson disease.

Immersive Case B: A Patient with Acute COVID-19 Presented by Dr. Daniel Miner, PT, DPT, NCS, Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy

An interactive case that guides students through the interview, examination, and evaluation of a patient with acute COVID-19 in the intensive care unit setting. Students will complete an inpatient chart review, observe portions of a patient interview and cognitive screen, anticipate safety concerns prior to mobilizing a patient in the intensive care unit, analyze a functional systems review, utilize observational skills and vital sign information to determine if a patient can safely tolerate additional activity, create an activity-specific prognosis statement, and create goals appropriate for the acute care setting. Throughout the case, students will be guided and receive feedback from a subject matter expert. The case activities require familiarity of topics covered in chapters 1 and 2. The videos in the case show a clinical presentation of a patient with pulmonary dysfunction making the case an excellent activity for students as they review Chapter 12.
