Description

The World Confederation of Physiotherapy (ER-WCPT) defines Evidence-Based Physiotherapy (EBE) as "a commitment to use the best available scientific evidence in making clinical decisions about the care of an individual and that integrates into their return both the knowledge acquired during professional practice and that obtained through systematic research in a certain field.


This concept, derived in turn from Evidence-Based Medicine, aims to integrate into the regular clinical practice of physiotherapists the theoretical-practical knowledge acquired through professional experience with current scientific evidence in relation to techniques and therapies used in physiotherapy and the specific preferences and characteristics of each patient, with the ultimate goal of providing our patients/subjects with the best possible care.


Throughout this subject we will delve deeper into the concept and meaning of the FBE, emphasizing especially its more scientific aspect, trying to integrate it into clinical reasoning and decision-making in physiotherapy through the critical reading of studies from current research and the debate and exchange of experiences and opinions

To be able to make an average, you will need to get a minimum of 5 out of 10 in the electronic portfolio and 4 out of 10 in the final exam. Self-assessment activities are not recoverable.

The total or partial copy in any of the learning activities will mean a "Not Presented" in the subject, without option to present in the proof of recovery and without prejudice of the opening of a file for this reason.

Recovery:

If you get less than a 5 in the electronic portfolio, you will have to take an exam that will consist of solving a clinical case

If you get less than a 4 in the final exam, you will have to take the exam again.
