Observation Tips
Observing, or taking in information, should be objective. With patient videos, your students can improve their observation skills, just like any other therapeutic skill, with structure and practice. Teaching students how to observe is fundamental to teaching strong critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills. As students learn to sharpen their observation skills, they will be better prepared to assess and identify their patient's problem areas and create plans for intervention and documentation.
As each ICE Video starts, students will begin observing the patient, the patient's environment, and the therapist. Consider trying any of the Observation Tools and Movement Analysis Tools (see below) to encourage critical thinking and clinical reasoning.
