Step 1: Open the integration settings in Posture Screen 0:00#

  • Start in Posture Screen and open Settings.
  • Go to Web Exercises → EHR Integration.
  • Find 3D Practice in the integration options.
  • If you do not already have a 3D Practice account, you can contact them from this area and even start a free trial.

Step 2: Sign in and connect your 3D Practice account 0:33#

  • Enter your 3D Practice username/email.
  • Enter your password.
  • Click Connect to 3D Practice.
  • Posture Screen will download the content needed to use the 3D Practice animations inside the app.

Step 3: Browse the 3D Practice animation catalog 1:18#

  • After connecting, go to Movies to browse the available animation catalog.
  • You can review the different educational animations available for patient use.
  • For more content, the transcript notes that 3D Practice’s web-based system has even more options.

Step 4: Add a 3D Practice animation to a patient education session 1:37#

  • Open a patient account.
  • Choose to add a new education item and select 3D Practice video animation.
  • Pick the animation you want to use, such as a left lateral disc herniation.
  • Open the animation and prepare it for capture.

Step 5: Annotate the animation to highlight key findings 2:02#

  • Turn off the grid for a cleaner view.

  • Scroll through the animation to the frame you want to explain.

  • Use drawing tools to add:

    • Arrows to point out structures or motion
    • Circles to emphasize areas of concern
  • Adjust the size and placement of the annotations as needed.

  • Click Capture to save the annotated frame.

Step 6: Repeat the process for additional animations 2:48#

  • Add another 3D Practice animation the same way you would add another exam item.
  • Select a different topic, such as ligamentous laxity at D1 on flexion.
  • Turn off the grid again and scroll to the most relevant frame.
  • Use the annotation tools to mark the important anatomy or motion.
  • Change pen color or tip size if needed, then click Capture.

Step 7: Generate and email a patient report with the captured images 3:55#

  • Return to the report workflow.
  • Generate a two-view PDF report.
  • Choose to email the PDF to the patient.
  • Use the customized outgoing email template from Posture Screen AI.
  • Click Send.

Step 8: Show the patient how the emailed PDF includes playable animations 4:22#

  • Open the email as the patient would receive it.
  • View the attached PDF.
  • The PDF contains the usual report content plus the captured images.
  • When the patient clicks an image, it plays the animation.
  • This makes it easier for patients to understand and share the findings with family members.

Step 9: Use the integration for patient education anytime, anywhere 5:04#

  • The main benefit is being able to educate patients on the fly during screenings or appointments.
  • You can create reports that include stop frames from animations.
  • This makes patient education more visual, interactive, and memorable.
