Physical therapists' self-perceived adequacy of entry-level education and their current confidence levels with respect to temporomandibular disorders: A pilot study.
Cranio : the Journal of Craniomandibular Practice 2018 September 29
OBJECTIVE: Physical therapy (PT) has been shown to be one of the most effective conservative treatments for temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The objectives of this pilot study are to determine the self-perceived knowledge, adequacy of entry-level education, and the current confidence levels of PTs in Florida regarding TMD treatment.
METHODS: An online questionnaire was used. The overall experience, education, and confidence regarding TMD treatment and its implications were discussed.
RESULTS: A total of 247 PTs participated. Nearly 70% of the PTs responded that they did not believe they received adequate education in TMD, and 50% are not confident to treat these patients. Seventy-seven percent were interested in knowing more about PT for TMD.
DISCUSSION: This pilot study shows the lack of confidence of PTs in Florida to treat TMD patients. More adequate training on TMD in the entry-level professional education is needed.
