Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the impact of integrating functional anatomy into dry needling education for DPT students.
Focused anatomy-integrated dry needling course implementation
Assessment of students' perceived clinical preparedness
Evaluation of skill enhancement through surveys
Students reported increased confidence in clinical skills
Enhanced understanding of functional anatomy applications
Improved integration of clinical reasoning into physical therapy practice

Implication

An anatomy-integrated course enhances clinical preparedness in physical therapy students, suggesting improved skill development.

Abstract

A focused, anatomy-integrated DN course enhanced DPT students' perceived clinical preparedness and skill. Embedding functional anatomy and clinical reasoning into DN education may support skill development and inform multimodal strategies in physical therapy training.
