The Spine
by Mike Buck

Mike Buck, Clinical Associate Professor and Clinic Director in the Department of Physical Therapy, currently has students scattered across the country fulfilling their internships in various physical therapy practice settings. Upon their return to the classroom at mid-semester Mike would typically spend the first class lecturing about subjective examination of patients with spine injuries. However, the potential of having each student view the lecture in a self placed‚ video attracted Mike to ISS.

Our solution was to video record Mike giving this presentation. In post-production, we synchronized his lecture with his bullet points and built video control buttons to stop, play, rewind and fast-forward. We also included a chapter list for students to navigate to different sections of the presentation. Now students can view the lecture prior to coming to lab sessions, which permits more efficient use of time in lab for hands-on instruction and experiences.
