Purpose: To explore the perspectives of people with hip and knee arthritis
regarding a physiotherapy extended-role practitioner (ERP) model of care in a
rural setting. Method: Using semi-structured interviews, a qualitative
descriptive case study was undertaken with 13 participants from a rural family
practice located in the province of Ontario, Canada, who had all been assessed by
an ERP. Transcribed interviews were analyzed for emergent themes. Results: Three
main themes were identified : (1) timely access to care, (2) distance as a factor
in seeking care, and (3) perceptions of the ERP model of care. Conclusions:
Participants reported many positive experiences with the physiotherapy ERP rural
model. Processes related to minimizing travel required to access care are
important for those in rural communities. An ERP model of care offers competent
care that includes musculoskeletal diagnosis as well as time for educating
patients and addressing questions.
