[Appropriateness of physiotherapy care in Germany: a scoping review].

DISCUSSION: The review shows a lack of empirical evidence since sufficient empirical findings regarding the appropriateness of physiotherapy care are missing for many of the indications, in particular on physiotherapy in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. The results of single studies are limited by insufficient assessment of therapeutic needs or the therapy modalities applied. Analyses which encompass multiple settings and/or providers of care have not been conducted in all studies, even though respective approaches would have been suitable. Nevertheless, suggestions for targeted improvement of the appropriateness of physiotherapy care can be derived from the results. PMID: 31003901 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
