Between February 2021 and June 2022, qualitative semi-structured online interviews were conducted with 19 physiotherapists (N = 19) from East China, who had experience treating LBP patients. Interviews were analysed through inductive thematic analysis. Three themes and five sub-themes were found in our study about Chinese physiotherapists’ insights for LBP care. These themes include constrained autonomy of Chinese physiotherapists within Chinese LBP care, the somatic-based LBP management model in physiotherapy, and a blended understanding of pain within the Chinese context. Our findings highlight that LBP rehabilitation in China is shaped by: (1) systemic constraints, including a strict medical hierarchy relied on doctors’ prescription and limited physiotherapy autonomy; (2) a somatic-based explanatory model continues to dominate Chinese physiotherapists’ clinical reasoning and treatment choices; and (3) a blended pain philosophy, combining dominant somatic-based LBP beliefs with acknowledgements of psychosocial and TCM perspectives of pain.","PeriodicalId":45694,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147917860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of those, 32 did not administer the HOOS(-PS) or KOOS(-PS) ('non-users'), 41 administered only due to organisational requirements or guideline recommendations ('passive users') and 93 actively used them for individual patient treatment purposes ('active users'). 'Treatment evaluation', 'diagnosis', and 'prognosis' were most often reported as potential reasons to actively use the HOOS(-PS) or KOOS(-PS) for individual treatment purposes. Determinants associated with active use of the HOOS(-PS) or KOOS(-PS) appeared to be fewer years of experience as a physiotherapist, a larger treatment volume of THA/TKA, a younger age, and higher attitude scores regarding PROM use.Conclusions: Most responding physiotherapists administer the HOOS(-PS) or KOOS(-PS), but their use for individual treatment is limited. Active users appear to be less experienced, younger, treat larger volumes of THA/TKA, and possess a more positive attitude towards using patient-reported outcome measures.","PeriodicalId":45694,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":" ","pages":"300-306"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7616814/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142647793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
