How physiotherapists in Turkey use measurement tools in daily practice

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study surveys actively practicing physiotherapists in Turkey to document the measurement tools they use, how often they use them, and the purposes behind their use (diagnosis, treatment planning, follow-up, or prognosis). Data will be collected via a Google Form questionnaire and analyzed to identify commonly used instruments, usage patterns, and perceived barriers or facilitators. The aim is to understand current clinical practice, inform educational content, and support development of standards for patient-centered, objective assessment in physiotherapy. Findings may also highlight gaps between evidence-based recommendations and real-world use, guiding future training and policy initiatives.
