本研究的目的是评估电子学习的有效性作为补充，在物理治疗学位课程的膝盖触诊和超声检查的技能收购校内教育。来自格拉纳达大学的46名学生（28名女性），平均年龄为21.5岁，接受了4小时的膝关节触诊和超声检查的理论和实践校内培训。然后将他们随机分为两组：实验组，免费访问ECOFISIO网站上的肌肉骨骼触诊和超声评估;对照组，访问有关该主题的文件和书籍。采用结构化客观临床评价（SOCE）和多项选择问卷（MCQ）对教育干预进行评价。我们还测量了学生生成可靠的超声图像和通过触诊定位特定膝关节结构所需的时间。MCQ评估的理论知识获得无显著组间差异（p = 0.39）。在膝关节触诊能力（p = 0.041）和超声评估（p < 0.001）方面，实验组的得分显著高于对照组。在线学习组的学生需要更少的时间触诊肌肉骨骼结构（p = 0.041），但更多的时间（p = 0.012），以获得他们的上级超声图像。总之，这些结果有助于证据表明，电子学习是一种有效的教育策略，物理治疗专业的学生获得技能触诊和超声成像的膝盖作为补充，校园教育。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning as a supplement to on-campus education for the acquisition of skills in palpation and ultrasound examination of the knee in a physiotherapy degree course. Forty-six students (28 females) from the University of Granada, with a mean age of 21.5 yrs, received 4 h of theoretical and practical on-campus training on palpation and ultrasound examination of the knee joint. They were then randomly distributed into two groups: experimental, with free access to the ECOFISIO website on musculoskeletal palpation and ultrasound assessment; and control, with access to documents and books on the topic. Structured objective clinical evaluation (SOCE) and multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ) were used to assess the educational intervention. We also measured the time taken by the students to generate a reliable ultrasound image and to localize a specific knee structure by palpation. There was no significant intergroup difference in the acquisition of theoretical knowledge as assessed by the MCQ (p = 0.39). Scores were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group for skills in palpation ability (p = 0.041) and ultrasound assessment (p < 0.001) of the knee. Students in the e-learning group needed less time to palpate the musculoskeletal structure (p = 0.041) but more time (p = 0.012) to obtain their superior ultrasound images. In conclusion, these results contribute evidence that e-learning is an effective educational strategy for physiotherapy students to acquire skills in palpation and ultrasound imaging of the knee as a supplement to on-campus education.
