Evidence-Based Physical Therapy  

Guidelines for applying evidence in clinical practice can be found in the classic text:

Guyatt, G., Rennie, D., Meade, M., and Cook, D. (2008) Users' guides to the medical literature: a manual for evidence-based clinical practice (2^nd ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Professional.

Chapters in this guide are organized by type of clinical question: therapy, harm, diagnosis, and prognosis.

Other good resources for both appraisal and applying evidence in clinical practice can be found on these two websites:

KT Clearinghouse/Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, Toronto:
http://ktclearinghouse.ca/cebm/teaching/worksheets

Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, University of Oxford:
