Summary

This study looks at whether a physiotherapist can accurately diagnose subacute knee injuries (lasting 1 week to 3 months) using a video consultation instead of an in-person exam. Researchers will compare three types of assessments: video-based, in-person without special knee tests, and the standard in-person exam with specific tests. The goal is to see if remote assessments are reliable enough to guide treatment, potentially making care more convenient for patients. The study plans to enroll 138 adults with knee pain.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Physiotherapy assessment (video-based and in-person)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that video consultations are a reliable way to diagnose knee injuries, making care more accessible for patients.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage study with only 138 participants, and results may not apply to all knee conditions or settings. Video assessments may miss some details found in person.
