Physical Therapy Evidence-Based Practice

Physical Therapy Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) refers to the approach used by physical therapists to make informed treatment decisions based on the best available research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences. It involves integrating scientific evidence with clinical experience and considering individual patient needs for optimal care. By applying EBP, therapists tailor interventions to improve recovery and enhance quality of life, ensuring treatments are effective and grounded in the latest findings. This method not only supports better outcomes but also helps patients understand the rationale behind their treatment plans.
