Practice in Advanced Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy

Olive Fennelly

In response to the rising prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSK) problems, physiotherapists are practicing at an advanced level, typically on an as-needed basis with internal training. Advanced practice physiotherapists (APPs) have difficulties in maintaining a high-quality service, workforce mobility, and formal recognition due to differences in rolespecific education. In order to inform the worldwide standardization of MSK APP education curricula, this study analyzed the competence frameworks and educational offers for the MSK APP that are currently available and investigated the learning requirements of physiotherapists. Despite differences in APP profiles within and between nations, recurring patterns about their anticipated competences and skills appeared. The implementation of globally recognized MSK APP competences and educational standards can be based on the findings of this study.
