Abstract

Question(s): What are the prognostic reasoning practices of physiotherapists towards musculoskeletal disorders?

Design: Exploratory phenomenological study.

Participants: 15 physiotherapists who currently treat musculoskeletal disorders.

Date analysis: Semi-structured interviews were implemented to collect data which was analysed using an inductive coding and thematic analysis approach.

Results: Three themes were identified. First, how physiotherapists considered prognosis within clinical practice. Whilst prognosis is an important consideration, in some circumstances it either may not be considered or is implied. Second, how physiotherapists determine prognosis for musculoskeletal disorders. Several factors shaped the ability of physiotherapists to determine prognosis including how they determine prognosis, and the barriers and facilitators towards determining prognosis. Finally, how physiotherapists discuss prognosis with individuals who have a musculoskeletal disorder. These discussions were shaped by the prognostic information provided, as well as the barriers and facilitators towards discussing prognosis.

Conclusion: The prognostic reasoning of physiotherapists appears to be influenced initially by whether they consider it or not. It is then shaped by both barriers and facilitators towards determining and discussing prognosis. Facilitators for this prognostic reasoning process appear to be aligned with the biomedical model of health, whilst barriers more aligned with psychosocial factors. To improve prognostic reasoning, physiotherapists should continue to strive to conceptualize prognosis within a biopsychosocial framework. Doing so will improve the ability of physiotherapists to prognosticate, which will subsequently improve outcomes associated with musculoskeletal disorders.
