A survey of 200 physicians explored the relationship between their beliefs in the efficacy of physical therapy (PT) and their use of PT for their patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Results show that utilization of PT is related to physicians' use of PT in general and is inversely related to the percentage of CP in physicians' patient loads, but is not related to their opinions of the value of PT services.
