The rising life expectancy and, therefore, the growing number of senior citizens is a concern shared at European level. Aging often comes with numerous pathologies which complicate the clinical reasoning process and the prioritization of objectives.
PETRHA is a Serious Game enabling European physiotherapy students to practice clinical reasoning in geriatrics. Various clinical cases based on real-life situations are proposed so that, thanks to repetition, they can acquire a methodology for collecting data, establishing a physiotherapy diagnosis and prioritizing the objectives.
Carried out in collaboration with the home helpers of the city of Bègles, this study booklet on the elderly population enables to enrich the clinical cases proposed in the Serious Game and will serve as a reference for the realization of studies regarding other categories of populations, as part of the development of new modules in the Serous Game.

Their main purpose is to support the cooperation between active organizations in the fields of study programs, intensive programs, new pedagogical approaches and exchanges of good practices.
On July, 15th of 2015, the Regional Training Institute for Health and Social welfare (IRFSS) of Aquitaine won the Erasmus+ call for “strategic partnership” projects with its project PETRHA (Physiotherapy E-Training Re-Habilitation).
Four other partners worked with the IRFSS Aquitaine (the project holder) on PETRHA. They are complementary in their fields of competence and their expertise guarantees the project’s success. The city of Bègles, a local community, is developing a policy oriented towards ICT and takes part via their support service for the elderly. The Polytechnic Institute of Porto (Portugal) and the Public Institute of Navarre (Spain) are members of the European Network of Physiotherapists in Higher Education (ENPHE) and provide their expertise in the fields of simulation and e-learning. Finally, our last partner, SimforHealth, is a provider of digital solutions for healthcare professionals’ training. The medical, technological and pedagogical teams of SimforHealth set up solutions like MedicActiv which have already trained more than 30,000 healthcare professionals in the world.
The PETRHA project is characterized by its ability to evolve, enrich itself and live beyond the length of the European convention thanks to the MOOC.
If its positive impact on health and social care professionals has already been proven, its main goal is indeed to improve the patients’ wellbeing and the quality of the care provided.
