Abstract
The population and information explosions have created acute teaching problems in physical therapy. This paper describes uses of films, closedcircuit television, and video tapes to resolve patient-availability problems, to compress time in studying the chronically ill, and to reduce distance between the basic science laboratory and the clinic. Establishment of centers is proposed for collecting films and tapes, instituting quality control, determining instrument compatibility, and preparing video tapes for national certification examinations. The paper concludes that, in spite of their limitations, these media deserve wider acceptance and use in teaching than they now receive.Keywords
