Concepts of Evidence Based Practice for the Physical Therapist Assistant

By Barbara Gresham and Barbara B. Gresham PT PhD GCS

What is the evidence?How do you evaluate it?How do you use it to make decisions?

Put the evidence to work for your patients.

With physical therapist assistants (PTAs) performing patient interventions under the direction of a physical therapist, you need to know how to read and understand a research article to provide the best possible patient care.

The PTA must have a reasonable grasp of current evidence to communicate knowledgeably with the therapist, the patient, and other health-care providers. This text provides the information and skills you need to actively participate in evidence based practice.

You'll enter the world of the clinic with confidence.
