Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate advanced practice physiotherapy and orthopedic surgeon care and clinical outcomes for new patients with a peripheral musculoskeletal disorders consulting at the orthopedic outpatient clinic of the Hôpital Jean-Talon.

The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To describe the models of care at the Hôpital Jean-Talon orthopedic outpatient clinic; 2. To assess change in pain, disability, quality of life and pain catastrophizing at 6, 12 and 26 weeks after the initial evaluation; 3. To assess interprofessional collaboration between the advanced practice physiotherapists and orthopedic surgeons; 4. To assess patient satisfaction with care; 5. To assess waiting time before an initial consultation.

Researchers will compare patients cared in the advanced practice physiotherapy and orthopedic surgeon group and the orthopedic surgeon only group.
