简要总结
This study describes the caseload treated by the extended scope physiotherapists(ESP) working in the emergency department at Slagelse Hospital.
Patients treated by the ESP during a 3 month period will be included in this study.
Furthermore we aim to assess if ESPs treating patients with minor musculoskeletal injuries in the ED can predict the short-term prognosis of recovery. The prediction is made at hospital discharge using a (-7/+7) numerical rating scale (-7=poor prognosis; 7=best prognosis).

结局指标
主要结局
Transition ratings of global perceived effect
时间窗: 1 month after discharge
Using a transition questionnaire (TRANS-Q) the perceived effect of treatment will be measured by participants answering if their current health status is "unchanged", "worse" or "better" compared to their pre-injury status. "unchanged" equals a transition score of 0. If the participant answers "worse", he/she is asked to rate the degree of worsening on a 7 point Likert scale, with corresponding scores ranging from -1 to -7. If the participant answers "better", he/she is asked to rate the degree of improvement on a 7 point Likert scale, with corresponding scores ranging from 1 to 7. Thus the GPE score range from -7 (worsening) to 7 (improvement), with the mid-point - 0 - representing no change.
