Article Synopsis
- Advanced Practice Physiotherapists (APPs) increasingly use MRI to diagnose lumbosacral radiculopathy (LSR) and rule out other spinal issues, but there's limited data on how their assessments correlate with MRI findings.
- The study analyzed the diagnostic and treatment plan differences pre- and post-MRI for 482 patients, revealing significant correlations between APP diagnoses and MRI results.
- Findings indicate a weak but statistically significant correlation between pre- and post-MRI treatment plans, suggesting APP diagnoses align somewhat with MRI outcomes, though the impact on treatment may vary.
