Conclusion:

The present study investigated the effectiveness of e-learning in teaching
physical therapy courses and the user’s perceptions about e-learning. Overall, this study
confirms that online learning is effective in teaching and learning of undergraduate
physical therapy students. The majority of students (61%) are satisfied with the overall
experience of online learning.

Based on the study findings, physical therapy can teach by online learning but
depending upon the subject content which is having more theoretical parts instead of
more practical sessions. Hybrid classes can be encouraged for some subjects which are
having practical and handson contents. The main barrier faced by nearly half of the
students (47%) is poor internet connections during online learning.
