C Miles-Tapping, A Dyck, S Brunham, E Simpson, and L Barber

Centre on Aging, Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.

Clinically relevant physical therapy research questions were developed by a Delphi technique among 55 teaching hospital physical therapists. The Delphi technique used in this study involved three rounds of questionnaires that included characteristics of anonymity, feedback, ranking with statistical scoring, and use of informed respondents. Fifty-eight initial research questions were narrowed to 11 according to their potential benefit for the patient, for the practice of physical therapy, and for decreasing health care costs. A literature review revealed that each of the 11 questions were as yet unanswered. The use of the survey results to guide and plan for clinical research in physical therapy is discussed.
