Evidence-based practice has become a central part of physiotherapy today, but it is still an area which is constantly expanding and being updated. Written by an international team of experts, this second edition continues to outline the basic definitions of evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning, while detailing how to find and critically appraise evidence and clinical practice guidelines and the steps to follow in the implementation and evaluation of evidence.
For those struggling to understand both the concepts and how to implement them, this book will prove to be an invaluable and practical guide.

Un testo importante
Reviewed in Italy on 25 November 2019Verified Purchase
Il titolo non a caso è "un testo importante" e non essenziale. Purtroppo spesso siamo intessati quasi solo a saper fare. Cosa ottima, ma spesso ci perdiamo l'importanza della valutazione della qualità delle informazioni. Allora sarebbe bello vedere questo testo diventare essenziale nella formazione di un fisioterapista. Per ora non lo è. Herbert ci insegna a cercare la valità delle informazioni, ci insegna a leggere i dettagli che sevono a pesare le informazioni. Dovremmo tutti tuttfarci tra quelle pagine. Un appello ai fomatori; studiamolo a memoria e diamolo agli studenti. Adremo avanti tutti quanti.
