First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study surveyed 106 licensed physiotherapists and internship students in Türkiye to see how closely they follow evidence-based guidelines for treating low back pain. Participants answered a short online questionnaire about their knowledge, attitudes, and treatment choices. The goal was to identify gaps between recommended care and actual practice, and to understand barriers to using research evidence in everyday treatment.
