Community physiotherapy in India: short review on research

Abstract Community physiotherapy in India is an important but under researched field. There are three components of community physiotherapy that are associated with each other, namely, education, research, and service delivery. There have been previous attempts to study the components of education and service delivery in the field of community physiotherapy in India. However, there is little published research. The aim of the current paper is to understand the contribution of Indian physiotherapists to the field of community research in an Indian and a global context. A research journal called Disability, CBR and Inclusive Development was used for this study. It was found that the contribution of physiotherapists in India to the field of community research was minimal. This could be one of the reasons for reduced awareness, decreased motivation, and confusion about community physiotherapy amongst physiotherapy students. Community physiotherapy is an important specialization, especially in a developing country such as India. It can be perceived as a cost-effective solution to the rehabilitation of underprivileged communities in India. Knowledge dissemination through more published research is required.
