Effectiveness of Virtual Flipped Classroom in Teaching Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation to Physiotherapy Students: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The virtual flipped classroom (VFC) is a virtual instructional strategy that engages students through active learning strategies and supports both synchronous and asynchronous virtual education components. This study examined the efficacy of the VFC instructional method in a Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation course for physiotherapy students.
