Document Summary

Evidence based practice: the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. You want to incorporate a clinician"s expertise, best current research evidence with the patient"s values. Evidence level varies greatly for how physios approach their patients. Much of it is based on perceived level of clinical success. Most practical way is to focus on cap"s and cat"s (appraisal topics, summarize the studies into little page summaries so they are more easily digestible) Level 1, 2, 3, 4 evidence, or consistent findings. Level 2, 3, 4 evidence, or generally consistent findings. Level 4 evidence, or little to no systematic empirical evidence. Our treatment depends essentially on the stage of healing the person is at. These healing stages are more or less the same, the body is predictable in its sequence of healing. First set of growth factors and inflammatory molecules. Proliferation produced by the cells within the blood clot.
