A randomized controlled trial conducted by the University of Sydney found that physiotherapist‑led care in emergency departments markedly shortened waiting and treatment times for patients with musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, fractures and dislocations. The study enrolled 1,491 patients who presented to five New South Wales emergency departments between November 2023 and March 2025. Results were published in BMJ Open, indicating that integrating physiotherapists into emergency care pathways can improve efficiency for musculoskeletal cases.
