Physiotherapy assessment and treatment of patients with tibial external fixator: a systematic scoping review.

Open Science Framework: doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/UT2DAIMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONRehabilitation programmes and research should consider that most studies with tibial external fixator (EF) patients did not evaluate outcomes routinely used in physiotherapy assessment.Rehabilitation programmes should consider that the instruments used in evaluation of tibial EF patients have unknown measurement properties.Rehabilitation programmes should consider that treatment of patients with tibial EF involves different types of interventions, however, they are poorly described or not described in most studies.
