Direktzugang in der Physiotherapie - Wie entscheiden sich Physiotherapeuten im Management ihrer Patienten?

Abstract

Within the scope of the discussion about direct access to physiotherapy in Germany all physiotherapists are increasingly confronted with growing challenges. As a consequence physiotherapists/manual therapists are expected to be able to recognize therapeutical risk factors. Through the use of selected case studies this thesis aims to find out to what extent physiotherapists in Germany recognize red flags and come to a relevant decision in patient management. Another aim of the dissertation was to gain a general opinion of german physiotherapists towards the implementation of direct access to physiotherapy in Germany.
