Priorities in physical therapy research: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical therapy is an ever-evolving profession. To improve research efficiency, it is crucial to identify knowledge gaps and establish research priorities.

Objective

To review priorities for physical therapy research, and to summarize the evidence into a global research agenda. As a secondary aim we sought to compare the priorities across studies.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review with searches in PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to gather studies and grey literature. Studies were included if they involved physical therapists, physical therapy researchers, patients, or policymakers who determined a research agenda or conducted a study on priority setting in physical therapy research. Content analysis was performed by two independent reviewers
