Abstract

AbstractFor this pilot study, the use of the digital 3D anatomy application Complete Anatomy was evaluated as a non‐mandatory additional study tool throughout the semester. The aim of the study was to investigate if the Complete Anatomy usage time had an effect on final exam grades and how the app was used post‐Covid19. This cross‐sectional study asked first year bachelor/freshman university students of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences to fill out a questionnaire to gauge Complete Anatomy usage time, the student's exam results, and how the app was used, for example, in relation to other study tools. A positive correlation was found between the proportion of students that passed the final exam and the number of hours of Complete Anatomy usage (rs (4) = 0.94, p = 0.016). Compared to students who didn't use Complete Anatomy, these positive effects were observed when students used Complete Anatomy for at least 10 h (p = 0.04). The app was well‐used with almost half of the respondents reporting >10 h of usage time. The results from this study provide a good overview of how and how often Complete Anatomy is used. Although a positive correlation between the hours of use and the number of passing grades was found in this pilot study, a future study to prove the causality between these two factors is warranted to further investigate the effect of Complete Anatomy as an additional non‐mandatory study tool.
