Acceptability of physiotherapists as primary care practitioners for the care of people with musculoskeletal disorders: a French population-based cross-sectional survey
This large sample of French adults considered physiotherapists as competent to diagnose and treat some MSKDs as primary care practitioners, and that they provided quality care. Further studies should investigate the scope of care, safety, and efficacy of a direct access physiotherapy model. CONTRIBUTION OF PAPER.
