Background:

Orthopaedic manual physical therapy (OMPT) lacks a contemporary practice description, hindering its understanding and integration into scientific literature and guidelines.
OMPT is often misclassified as passive care or incorrectly contrasted with exercise-based therapies, leading to a misunderstanding of its active, patient-centered nature.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a modern definition and conceptual model for OMPT that reflects current scientific and clinical advancements.
To outline the essential aspects of advanced OMPT training, including examination and treatment competencies.
To improve the accurate classification and understanding of OMPT within the physical therapy profession and across healthcare.

Main Methods:

This perspective paper synthesizes current thinking on OMPT.
It defines the distinguishing characteristics and key elements of OMPT.
It proposes a conceptual model for advanced OMPT practice.

Main Results:

A contemporary definition and conceptual model for OMPT is presented.
The unique and essential aspects of advanced OMPT training, examination, and treatment competencies are outlined.
The proposed definition aims to improve understanding and correct classification of OMPT.

Conclusions:

A clear, modern definition of OMPT is essential for accurate scientific classification and broader healthcare understanding.
This perspective provides a framework for understanding OMPT as a systematic, active, and patient-centered approach.
The proposed definition and conceptual model will aid in OMPT's correct study and application in clinical practice and research.
