Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: In the last ten years, more and more
physiotherapists have emerged exploring the theoretical
foundations of physiotherapy science. Defining key
phenomena is an assumption.
Aim: The purpose of the paper is to isolate the core
phenomena of physiotherapy science around which
physiotherapy experts reach consensus.
Materials and methods: By logically summarizing the
868 physiotherapy terms identified by previous delphi
research, a list of 86 terms was created. Seven expert
physiotherapists were to focus on the underlying
phenomena of physiotherapy science by consensus.
Results: 16 phenomena were extracted by consensus:
balance, pain, breathing, touch, physical factor,
physiotherapy technology, physiotherapy science,
physiotherapy approach, physiotherapy process,
functional stability, gait, muscle tone, model of disability,
movement, movement, posture.
Conclusion: What phenomena are the subject of research
in physiotherapy science? This question was answered with one possible answer by this research. Defining key
phenomena means a shift in the development of the
theory of physiotherapy science as well as a step in the
creation of physiotherapy scientific terminology.
