Physiopedia-Specific Tips[edit | edit source]
The above three tips are general guidelines on what makes a good article, but what makes a Physiopedia page stand out? Below are the top ways to create an excellent addition to Physiopedia.
Physiotherapy-specific and Clinically-relevant[edit | edit source]
Physiopedia is a universally accessible, online resource for physiotherapists around the world. A good page, then, should convey knowledge of the profession and current best-evidence practice.
- Physiotherapy-specific
- Have I included sections/ headings that are relevant to physiotherapy?
- Good examples of this include: Pathology/Injury, Physiotherapy Techniques (Palpation, Stretch, Treatment techniques)
- These sections are included on the anatomy page templates (muscles, joints, ligaments).
- Additional relevant sections may include: Clinical Examination (such as Differential Diagnosis, Special Tests and Outcome Measures) and Physiotherapy Management/Intervention
- Good examples of this include: Pathology/Injury, Physiotherapy Techniques (Palpation, Stretch, Treatment techniques)
- Have I referenced journals/ articles/ books specific to physiotherapy?
- Have I included sections/ headings that are relevant to physiotherapy?
- Clinically-relevant
- Have I included sections for Clinically Relevant Anatomy, Evidence (for the technique or test described), and Recent Related Research?
- Recent Related Research
- This section links to recent PubMed research (via an RSS feed) on the article topic.
- Refer to: Adding PubMed Feed tutorial
- This section links to recent PubMed research (via an RSS feed) on the article topic.
Use of Relevant Media[edit | edit source]
Physiopedia is designed to be an educational and clinical tool, so visual references (including relevant images, videos and presentations) are great ways to enhance an article.
Examples of relevant media include:
