The first orthopaedic physical therapy practice analysis survey was completed in 1983. Another practice analysis survey was conducted in 1993 to identify the advance practice of clinicians who practice in orthopaedic physical therapy settings. Since 10 years elapsed, a new practice analysis study was conducted to identify the practice of orthopaedic clinical specialists. The purpose of this report is to describe the results of this survey. Orthopaedic physical therapists, both specialists and nonspecialists, participated in group interviews, subject matter expert meetings, and a national practice survey to delineate important knowledges and responsibilities. The survey was.sent to a stratified convenience sample of 1,000 orthopaedic physical therapists, of which 325 were orthopaedic clinical specialists. The three-part survey contained 180 items. A total of 420 respondents, of which 241 were orthopaedic clinical specialists, rated the importance and application level for the items. The results of this study provide evidence for a core body of knowledge required by clinicians practicing with advanced skills in orthopaedic physical therapy and create the framework for the Orthopaedic Physical Therapy Specialty Exam. |
