Exploring the Quality of Physical Therapy in Patients With Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis in Germany: A Cross-Sectional, Vignette-Based Study
The study's findings underscore the importance of understanding the treatment modalities used by physical therapists in managing hip or knee OA worldwide. This insight is crucial for addressing the evidence-to-practice gap and ensuring the effective implementation of high-quality physical therapy, a need that is equally relevant in other countries. Additionally, this knowledge is vital for developing targeted strategies, such as the creation and integration of (de-)implementation protocols into the education and ongoing professional development of physical therapists globally.
