Area of Science:

  • Physical Therapy Research
  • Clinical Research Infrastructure

Background:

  • Physical therapy clinical research centers (PTCRCs) are of significant interest to the profession.
  • Establishing effective PTCRCs is crucial for advancing physical therapy research and practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess resources for establishing PTCRCs.
  • To conduct a systems analysis of existing research centers.
  • To develop models for PTCRCs based on survey data.

Main Methods:

  • Distributed questionnaires to 118 academic and 22 other institutions.
  • Performed systems analysis of National Institutes of Health-supported clinical research centers.
  • Utilized a Delphi procedure with physical therapy researchers.
  • Conducted site visits to three potential PTCRC facilities.

Main Results:

  • 40 facilities reported the capability to become a PTCRC.
  • Only four sites demonstrated significant publication records in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Delphi survey identified consensus on PTCRC characteristics and focus areas.
  • Several PTCRC models were developed, emphasizing structural and functional diversity.

Conclusions:

  • Diversity in structure and focus is essential for encouraging the development of PTCRCs.
  • Models for PTCRCs were created considering resource availability, systems analysis, and expert consensus.
  • Further development of PTCRCs should accommodate varied approaches to research and operation.
