This is another reason that we chose to include all the residents as our cohort in this study, recognizing that even some of the post-graduate year 2 senior residents would have had limited experience with the pre- and possibly post-intervention rotation schedule.
After six-week of training, the mental rotation ability of the Intervention group improved through the use of AR-3DH training system during the intervention phase.
In this study, factors such as undertaking the study in a single organization, rotation of clinicians between intervention sites, and inclusion of clinicians from the same team, all likely increased the risk of contamination (25).
In Zimbabwe and Vulindlela, the initial division and rotation of field teams across intervention communities by intervention component (MVCT, CM and PTSS) was found to be both inefficient in terms of staff transportation and confusing to participants.
Significant differences in pre-intervention external rotation ROM were found between unaffected and affected shoulders of subjects with lateral epicondylalgia, but no significant difference remained post-intervention.
The rationale for our methodology was to use an intervention (small rotations of the subject) to shift EVLW.
We evaluated how the intervention influenced mental rotation skills by asking participants to complete a standard mental rotation test before and after playing the teapot game (Mazalek et al., 2011).
The intervention targeted mental rotation ability by creating an embodied experience that forces players to continuously perform mental rotation.
Rotations 2 (Nov/Jan) and 3 (Feb/Mar) were allocated to the intervention group and rotations 1 (Sep/Oct) and 4 (Apr/May) were allocated to the control group.
