About this trial
Financially vulnerable people experience higher rates of trauma-related injuries and often face barriers to accessing physical therapy services. Current rehabilitation services may not sufficiently align with the circumstances and needs of this population. This qualitative study aims to develop a conceptual understanding of the needs of financially vulnerable adults with trauma-related injuries regarding physical therapy treatment. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, data will be collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and supplementary qualitative materials. Findings will support the development of more accessible, tailored, and person-centered physical therapy services.
