Content

Learning to search for literature on topics that are related to physiotherapy and orthopaedic conditions. Nowadays society sets higher requirements for professional actions. Physiotherapists too must show clients and health insurers that their physiotherapeutic interventions can have a solid substantiation from a scientific perspective. Acting only on the basis of good intentions does not provide sufficient guarantees for quality. Evidence-based practice is therefore a must for any therapist. During their work, physiotherapists must be able to act according to the principles of evidence-based practice.
