Exploring Physiotherapists’ ACL Decision-Making Processes (New Zealand)
We are inviting physiotherapists/physical therapists who manage acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries to contribute to an international survey exploring current ACL management decision-making in New Zealand, Canada and the United States. The 5–10 minute anonymous online survey asks about clinicians’ beliefs, opinions and experiences regarding ACL management options, including barriers and facilitators to informed decision-making and implementation of non-surgical care. Findings will help identify country-specific practice patterns and support strategies to improve ACL injury management.

Participants can enter a draw to win one of four $200 gift cards after completing the survey.
