| description | The lack of knowledge by health professionals in the management of scoliosis can lead to an erroneous diagnosis. The aim of the current study was to understand the influence of length of professional experience on the knowledge of Brazilian physical therapists regarding international guidelines for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The study was conducted using an online questionnaire consisting of 23 questions, divided into 8 questions on sociodemographic data and 15 questions based on information provided by the guidelines in the SOSORT 2016. In total, 506 physiotherapists were interviewed, and they comprised the study sample. The results showed that professionals who have been working for more than 6 years in the field have greater knowledge of AIS, seek to become more professional, and with that, have an understanding of AIS that is more aligned with the SOSORT. Length of experience made a difference when considering knowledge of the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis. The present study showed that a time since graduation of 6 years or more was satisfactory. |
