Clients and conditions encountered by final year physiotherapy students in private practice. A retrospective analysis.

Currently little is known about the clients and conditions final-year physiotherapy students are exposed to in private practice settings. The aim of this study is to describe the clients and conditions encountered by final-year physiotherapy students during a six-week full-time private practice clinical placement. Client data of conditions were collected over 11 years (2008-2018) from final year physiotherapy students' client reports in a university clinic, Christchurch, New Zealand.
