Do physical therapy practitioners’ perceptions align with empirical data regarding predictors of treatment outcome for neck pain?

In 2007, a study conducted by Hill, et. al., aimed to identify predictors of poor outcome in patients undergoing physical therapy for neck pain. The researchers also compared these findings with the subjective perceptions of physical therapy practitioners regarding predictors of treatment outcome. Understanding these predictors is crucial for optimizing treatment approaches and improving patient care. The study involved a secondary analysis of data obtained … Continue reading Do physical therapy practitioners’ perceptions align with empirical data regarding predictors of treatment outcome for neck pain?
