There is a need for evidence-based approaches to deliver physiotherapy (PT) or occupational therapy (OT) services to this underserved group.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The purpose of this scoping review was to identify PT and OT service delivery models that have been implemented, for populations typically identified as hard-to-reach and their associated health outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Eligibility criteria<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Articles were eligible if they described PT and\/or OT services for hard-to-reach populations. There were no restrictions on study design.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Study selection<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Six electronic databases (AMED, CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Healthstar, and PsycINFO) were searched from January 2000 to June 2023. Articles were screened in duplicate by two independent reviewers, and conflicts were resolved by consensus.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Twenty-one articles with variable sample sizes (min, max n = 3 to 237) were included and detailed PT and\/or OT services for immigrants\/migrants, refugees, hard-to-reach veterans, people experiencing homelessness, lower incomes, trauma\/torture, and those living in rehabilitation-deficient areas. Common rehabilitation needs (e.g., clinician to client connectivity), barriers (e.g., high transportation costs) and facilitators (e.g., encouragement) were identified among the various populations, mainly due to intersecting identities such as those who are both traumatized and refugees. Unique factors pertaining to the PT and OT services were also identified in some groups, including access to child and family services for people experiencing homelessness.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec006\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Despite common and individual needs, barriers, and facilitators in hard-to-reach groups in the literature, there is a need for studies with larger sample sizes, rigorous methodology and a conscious effort to publish the results of interventions to generate stronger recommendations for practice.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0310993","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]],"date-time":"2024-11-13T18:24:59Z","timestamp":1731522299000},"page":"e0310993","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Physical and occupational therapy service delivery models for populations identified as hard-to-reach: A scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1970-430X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kenneth S.","family":"Noguchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhib","family":"Masrur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lori","family":"Letts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susanne","family":"Sinclair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Wojkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6356-0492","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Julie","family":"Richardson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0310993.ref001","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
