A total of 167 articles were initially retrieved through the literature re-
search in PubMed and CINAHL databases. After duplicates had been removed
151 titles were screened. Subsequently, 151 abstracts of articles were assessed for
eligibility of which 20 articles were selected for full text review. Twelve articles
were subjected to analysis in this study. The main reason for exclusion were ar-
ticles evaluating conditions in healthcare systems where the direct access ser-
vice to physiotherapy has not yet been implemented in their healthcare system.
The flow diagram of literature search is outlined in figure 1.
With the exception of two randomized controlled studies, three includ-
ed studies were qualitative by design and seven were systematic reviews. They
all investigated community in primary care settings, and direct access to phys-
iotherapist-led service for MSK conditions. Characteristics of the 12 studies are
presented in Table 2.
