Evidence Based Healthcare & Practice

The University of Sydney have compiled a comprehensive source of clinical trials in rehabilitation and physiotherapy which have been exhaustively reviewed and rated [refer: Herbert et al 1998]. Based within the Centre for Evidence-Based Physiotherapy (CEBP), the Physiotherapy Evidence Database [PEDro] has been developed to give physiotherapists and others rapid access to bibliographic details and abstracts of randomised controlled trials [RCT’s], and systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials, in physiotherapy. Most trials on the database have been rated for quality to help you quickly discriminate between trials which are likely to be valid and interpretable and those which are not.
