About[edit | edit source]

Decision-making.jpg

Translation of knowledge to practice in health care is a significant challenge[1][2][3].  Clinicians want to provide evidence-informed management for their patients but many struggle with accessing, appraising and synthesising the vast array of literature available. Recent Knowledge Translation projects have lead to the development of decision aids synthesising the current evidence to guide clinical management of this patient population.

This Physical Therapy Knowledge Broker project was supported by the University of British Columbia (BC) Department of Physical Therapy, The Physiotherapy Association of BC, Vancouver Coastal Research Institute and the Providence Healthcare Research Institute.
