134 APPENDICES Physiotherapy modalities: TENS (36 ± 08%) and US (29 ± 08%)), and spinal manipulations (38 ± 06%) although the latter is legally not a physiotherapeutic technique. Total knee replacement Overall, 172 physiotherapists out of the 367 respondents have treated, in the week preceding the receipt of the questionnaire, at least one patient suffering from total knee replacement (see Table 4.6). Distribution of patients age, proportion of males and females, repartition of the delays between the discharge from hospital/rehabilitation centre and the beginning of the treatment by the physiotherapist, and distribution of treatment modalities are presented in Figure 4.5. Total knee replacement mainly concerns aged adults. As shown in Table 4.6, the patients mean age was 69 ± 10 years (range: 42 90 years). A higher prevalence of females was observed presumably due to their higher life expectancy. In most cases, no delay was observed between the patient s discharge from hospital/rehabilitation centre and the beginning of his/her treatment by the physiotherapist.

Panel C: repartition of the delays between the beginning of the complaint and the beginning of the treatment by the physiotherapist. Panel D: distribution of treatment modalities used to treat acute low back pain and repartition of electrophysiotherapeutic modalities (TENS = transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation; IFC = inteRFTrential currents; US = ultrasounds).
