As Physiopedia Plus (Plus) Education Director, I always enjoy checking which courses are trending each week. It is a good measurement to help to understand the learning needs of Plus users and to show the diversity of interests from around the world.
These are the top trending courses for 2023 so far:
- October – Neurological Gait Deviations by Damien Howell, trending for 8 days
“Fantastic course to deepen your skills in gait assessment, specifically in neurological disorders!” - September – Introduction to Rehabilitation Interventions, this course was part of the 2023 MOOC and already has more than 1300 participants in less than 2 months and trended for 12 days
“I would recommend this course to every Rehabilitation Professional. It is easy to slip away from basics as you gain more years of experience. You tend to perform techniques you cannot explain, even though they are correct. It’s a must-course for me. Thanks, Plus!!!!!” - August – Current Guidelines and Recommendations for Postnatal Exercise, this course by Fiona Healy in collaboration with the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists trended for 8 days
