Interactive Virtual Patient (IVP) is developed by Department of Rehabilitation Sciences (RS) of the PolyU. IVP simulates a real life physiotherapy session. IVP simulates the situation that the patient just walks into a physiotherapy clinic and students start from scratch with no more information than a referral letter. Under a safe and risk-free environment, students have their freedom to attempt and start with various types or orders of questions in subjective and objective examination when assessing the IVP.
