Physiotherapists use of EBP -
A recent study - conducted in England and Australia - indicates that
hospital physiotherapists rely mainly on original training, practice related
courses and experience when selectng treatment techniques. Use of
research and journal literature is limited for all techniques - even
exercise.
Journal readership amongst English physios is limited largely to
newsletters and the CSP journal. Australian physios indicated a wider
readership - but not extensive, and newsletters were also popular
there.
Journal clubs / literature provision is currently under investigation
