Abstract
Physiotherapists are well positioned to contribute to concussion care, with a diverse and unique skill set in active rehabilitation as well as the evaluation and management of cervical spine and vestibulo-ocular disorders (Schneider, 2019a). The management block included questions about the setting up and funding of services, the sub-systems managed by the service, the frequency of people returning with persistent problems, and the typical number and timeframe of appointments. The survey questions and flow were developed in an iterative process, beginning with development and trials within the research team, followed by a peer-review process and then trials with a small number of local physiotherapists. The link to the online survey was distributed electronically via email, social media, websites, and other online platforms via professional physiotherapy networks, including Physiotherapy New Zealand (PNZ) branches and special interest groups, and professional contacts of the research group.
