  1. EVIDENCE TO SUPPORTMoore, JH, Goss, DL, et al. Clinical diagnostic accuracy and magnetic resonance imaging of patients referred by physical therapists, orthopaedic surgeons, and non orthopedic providers. JOSPT. 2005;35;65-71. • A study performed in the U.S. Army compared the Clinical Diagnostic Accuracy (CDA) of PTs, Orthopedic Surgeons, and Non-orthopedic providers in patients with musculoskeletal impairments. • Authors found PTs had a higher CDA (75%) versus non-orthopedic providers (35%), but no significant difference between PTs and Orthopedic Surgeons. • Authors stated PTs are capable of making accurate musculoskeletal diagnoses and these decisions can be made without a physician referral.
