Abstract

Background: The integration of modern pedagogical technologies into rehabilitation and physical activity education has become increasingly important as healthcare systems worldwide emphasize preventive medicine and patient-centered care. Traditional teaching methods often fail to adequately prepare healthcare professionals for the complex, multidisciplinary nature of rehabilitation practice.

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of various pedagogical technologies in teaching rehabilitation fundamentals and physical activity principles, and to develop an evidence-based framework for their optimal implementation in medical and allied health education.

Methods: Systematic review of pedagogical approaches used in rehabilitation education from 2015-2024, including simulation-based learning, digital technologies, problem-based learning, and experiential methods. Analysis of 45 educational programs across 12 countries, supplemented by expert consultation with 15 rehabilitation educators.

Results: Interactive pedagogical technologies demonstrated significantly higher knowledge retention (effect size d=0.72, p<0.001) and clinical competency development compared to traditional lecture-based approaches. Simulation-based learning showed 34% improvement in practical skill acquisition, while blended learning approaches increased student engagement by 47%.

Conclusion: Evidence-based pedagogical technologies, particularly those combining theoretical knowledge with practical application through simulation, digital tools, and experiential learning, substantially improve educational outcomes in rehabilitation and physical activity instruction.

Keywords
