Physiotherapy students’ perceptions and understanding of functional movement disorder (FMD): a qualitative study

Results indicate that students' understanding of FMD could be improved through more comprehensive teaching during the undergraduate physiotherapy course. Current gaps in knowledge include causes, diagnostic signs, and treatment interventions for FMD. Further research investigating gaps in qualified physiotherapists knowledge of FMD could provide more insights into what should be included in FMD teaching at the undergraduate level.
