Objective:: This study aimed to determine if a written or visual teaching aid influenced learning retention when teaching a manual motor skill.
Methods:: Seventy chiropractic students who had completed an upper cervical specific chiropractic technique course were evaluated for technique-specific recall before and after a review using either a visual teaching aid or a written guide. Two randomized groups reviewed original course-written guides ( n = 33) or new visual teaching aids ( n = 37). Repeated-measures analysis of variance and post hoc t tests compared group differences in reevaluation scores.
Results:: Performance of both groups improved postintervention ( F[1, 68] = 182.56, p < .001). However, the visual teaching aid group improved more than the written guide group ( F[1, 68] = 4.66, p = .03). The visual teaching aid group percentage score improved by 24.4% (SD ± 12.3%, p < .01); the written guide group improved by 17.7% (SD ± 13.7%; p < .01).
Conclusion:: The mean learning retention improved in both the visual and the written teaching guide groups, but there was greater improvement in the visual aid group. This study suggests that visual teaching aids may be more useful than written guides when students attempt to recall information related to learning a manual motor skill.

Objective: The prevalence of students with disabilities in physical therapist education programs in the United States is <1%. This case report explored the experiences surrounding a specific, unique individual student with blindness or visual impairment (BVI) within the context of an entry-level physical therapist program. The purpose was not merely to describe 1 student's journey but to capture the complex dynamics and shifts in perceptions of students, faculty, staff, and clinicians.

Coordination serves as a crucial metric for analysing collective behaviour in complex systems. Given the prevalence of biological diversity, this study re-evaluated the coordination issue in strictly metric-free (SMF) swarms, incorporating both limited perceptual ranges and hierarchical dynamics. Initially, the study introduced a single-layer hierarchical SMF model that was optimized using differential evolution strategies.

Introduction: In aviation, exceptional visual perception is crucial for pilots to monitor flight instruments and respond swiftly to deviations, as well as make rapid judgments regarding environmental changes, ensuring aviation safety. However, existing research on pilots' visual perception has predominantly focused on behavioral observations, with limited exploration of the neurophysiological mechanisms involved.
Methods: This study aimed to investigate the brain activity associated with the visual perception capabilities of flight cadets.

Background: Full-thickness, transtendinous supraspinatus rotator cuff tears involve a significant portion of the remanent tendon attached to the footprint.
Purpose: To compare outcomes and failure rates for arthroscopic side-to-side (STS) suture repair for transtendinous tears versus traditional double-row repair for common tendon-to-bone type tears.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Introduction: The retrospective study evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of conservative treatment for type II odontoid C2 fractures in octogenerians. The study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes and quality of survival of patients treated using conservative methods. Additionally, the study sought to define radiological outcomes, fracture healing success and the development of complications in correlation with clinical outcomes.
