Mmmm... I didn't always agree with Mel, but I must say that his input often inspired me. Another person who I miss: Henry Tsao. Is he still on the list? Another matter. This week I've been reading 3 dutch guidelines for physiotherapy: osteoporosis, rehabilitation after acute myocard infarct and aspecific low back pain. I must say that I haven't decided my point of view regarding practice guidelines. Who determines what is quality when a meta-analysis is done. IS RCT the reference regarding research quality and what happens with treament modalities which are not evidence-based because there is simply not enough research available? In short time I move back to Holland and that's why I'm reading much now about the Dutch way of PT. I red that if one wants his/her name in a special "quality registry of PT's" in Holland, one has to work according these guidelines. Mmm... I've been reading and practicing the guideline "acute ankle inversion trauma" and I really don't agree with some of things written. Don't understand me wrong: I think it's very good that guidelines are available (uniformity in treatment, bla, bla), but I question the way these guidelines are almost forced upon me. What are your views upon this topic?

I thought Mel had resigned from the list because of the number of criticisms he was receiving. He is still active on BiomechL, thank goodness Marion Trew University of Brighton > ---------- > From: [log in to unmask][SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Reply To: - for physiotherapists in education and practice > Sent: 18 April 2002 15:48 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: Dr Mel McSiff? > > I do , too.
