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 the in turn 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.


The aim of this subject is to continue deepening the concepts learned in the Evidence Based Seminar subject as well as expand other concepts related to the FBE. The purpose of this follow-up will be to provide the student with work tools that he can use both in his future professional life and in future research projects such as the End of Degree Project.
