Advanced musculoskeletal physiotherapy: Barriers and enablers to multi-site implementation.

Objectives: Advanced musculoskeletal physiotherapy (AMP) services are a safe, effective model of care, but without broad-scale healthcare implementation to date. The aim of the present study was to identify the barriers and enablers to implementation of 12 AMP services from the perspective of clinical staff.

Methods: In a qualitative study, 12 participants (physiotherapists), from 12 different healthcare networks (seven metropolitan, three regional, two rural), were included.

Physical activity perceptions and beliefs following total hip and knee arthroplasty: a qualitative study.

Background: Despite improvements in pain and physical capacity experienced by patients following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), recent studies suggest that levels of physical activity may not change. This study aimed to qualitatively explore people's beliefs and perspectives about physical activity at 6 months following THA or TKA for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 participants (age range 51-78 years) at 6 months post-arthroplasty surgery.
