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).
