Introduction

Evidence-based practice integrates best evidence research with clinical expertise and patient preference. Applying an evidence-based practice approach to the management of tendinopathy is not as simple as applying one set of research findings from a single article in a recipe format for a patient. Every patient presents with a unique clinical picture. The therapist managing the patient should apply a broad base of evidence to clinically reason a comprehensive management plan. This plan should be based on the best evidence available at that time, bearing in mind that evidence-based practice is fluid and constantly changes as more evidence is produced.

Aims

This course aims to expose the learner to the clinical application of research to tendinopathies.

This course is short but packed with research-backed and immediately applicable information! I'm very thankful that I didn't pass this one up because of its brevity.

It was well worth going through this course to refresh the current concepts in EBP for tendon treatment
