Evaluating Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist's Self‐Perceived Knowledge and Understanding of the Assessment, Diagnosis and Management of Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: A Cross‐Sectional Survey

MSK physiotherapists are generally confident in their assessment and management of DCM but seek more comprehensive training, especially in symptomology and non-surgical management. The findings of this survey also suggest a gap in DCM education at the undergraduate level, highlighting an opportunity to improve training for early-career physiotherapists.

Abstract

MSK physiotherapists are generally confident in their assessment and management of DCM but seek more comprehensive training, especially in symptomology and non-surgical management. The findings of this survey also suggest a gap in DCM education at the undergraduate level, highlighting an opportunity to improve training for early-career physiotherapists.
