Purpose of study

To explore the clinical reasoning strategies used by extended scope physiotherapists (ESPs) when assessing patients with low back pain.

Background

Extended scope physiotherapists commonly work in back pain services and their training emphasises the acquisition of clinical skills and possible diagnostic tests (including MRI) to aid clinical reasoning and diagnosis. Whilst there has been some exploration of reasoning strategies of other professional groups (notably medically qualified) to date, the clinical reasoning strategies of ESP clinicians have not been reported.
