Evidence-based Physiotherapy

Physical therapy, to me, should be regarded as a form of physical medicine. Therapists need to make accurate diagnosis, deliver suitable treatment modalities, and finally evaluate the effectiveness through objective outcome measurement.

The idea Evidence-based Practice (EBP) has evolved for decades.

Apart from accurate diagnositic, treatment and evaluation procedures, a EBP therapists should make ALL clinical decisions supported with clinical research. However complicated the reasoning process is, I believe EBP should be the safest and most effective clinical reasoning model, the Ideology of Clinical Reasoning. You may browse PubMed for those research and EBP material.

The Basic embraces EBP system. In the near future the Basic may recruit subjects for clinical research, too. Please logon to Basic Blogger to get the most updated infomation.
