Background and purpose: With bedside teaching becoming increasingly difficult with the burgeoning numbers of physiotherapy colleges in India, alternate methods of effective teaching are needed. Video based teaching is one such alternative. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of video based teaching over conventional bedside teaching in undergraduate students. Subjects: 200 subjects were divided into two groups of 100 each by simple randomization. Methods: One group was taught using previously prepared and validated videos of deformities and gait deviations in cerebral palsy and functional training of spinal cord injured patients. The other group was taught the same topics in the conventional manner using patients with similar characteristics. The outcome measures were validated pre, post and follow up tests. Analysis was done using repeated measures ANOVA. Results: Results showed that although both groups improved in the post test, and maintained learning at the follow up, the group that was taught using the videos did significantly better (p<0.001). Conclusion: The results imply that videos may have value as an alternate medium of clinical teaching in the sampled topics.Keywords

Background&objectiveResponse rate to a survey in India varied from 23% to 43.2%, in studies done on practitioners. If this is the response rate from the practitioners in India, it is a logical assumption that the response from the patient population would be similar. The aim of this article is to describe the response rate to a survey in India. Our study was to collect data regarding morbidity of individuals with paraplegia in India, as there is no reliable database existing.
Methods
The study was done by three methods: i) by sending the questionnaires to the addresses retrieved from the medical record section ii) by sending the questionnaires to the Directors and the Heads of the Departments of Physiotherapy of various institutes all over India and iii) by personal visits to various centers, specialized in spinal cord injury or paraplegia, all over India.
Results
Response rate was 100% when personal visits were made, 33.8% with direct patients' mailings and 8.7% with institutes' mailings.
Interpretation
Response rate was poorer with institutes' mailings than with that of direct patients' mailings.
