Description

The World Confederation of Physiotherapy (ER-WCPT) defines Evidence-Based Physiotherapy (FBE) as “a commitment to use the greatest scientific evidence available in the clinical decision-making 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 given field. This concept, derived in turn from Evidence-Based Medicine, aims to integrate within the usual clinical practice of physiotherapists the theoretical-practical knowledge acquired through professional experience with current scientific evidence in relation to the techniques and therapies used in physiotherapy and the preferences and specific 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 to delve into the concepts learned in the subject ofEvidence Based Seminar as well as expanding 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 Final Degree Project.

Learning outcomes

Acquires evidence-based physiotherapy criteria, critical analysis of knowledge
Acquires and masters English applied to the sciences of health and physical activity
Understand the importance of reasoning based on scientific evidence. Justification of the interventions based on the evidence that supports them.
Analyze the results of published evidence. It determines their degree of validity and applicability in the environment in which they must develop their intervention.
Apply the method of evidence-based medicine to the various fields of health sciences and physical activity: search in scientific databases, critical analysis of studies, drawing conclusions for their clinical applicability
It incorporates the communication and dissemination of results as part of the therapeutic intervention process
It incorporates English as a language for learning and disseminating scientific knowledge. Use in inter-professional communication.
