General Disclaimer

PHYSIOPEDIA MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY

The “Physiopedia Wiki” is an online open-content collaborative encyclopedia, that is, a voluntary association of individuals and groups working to develop a common resource of physiotherapy knowledge. The structure of the project allows anyone with an Internet connection to alter its content. Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by people with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate or reliable information.

That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information in Physiopedia; much of the time you will. However, Physiopedia cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given article may recently have been changed, vandalized or altered by someone whose opinion does not correspond with the state of knowledge in the relevant fields.

No formal peer review

Physiopedia is not uniformly peer reviewed; while Editors may correct errors or engage in casual peer review, they have no legal duty to do so and thus all information read here is without any implied warranty of fitness for any purpose or use whatsoever. Even articles that have been vetted by informal peer review or featured article processes may later have been edited inappropriately, just before you view them.

None of the Editors, sponsors, administrators, or anyone else connected with Physiopedia in any way whatsoever can be responsible for the appearance of any inaccurate or libelous information or for your use of the information contained in or linked from these web pages.

Physiopedia is not responsible should someone change, edit, modify or remove any information that you may post on Physiopedia or any of its associated projects.
