• Resumen

  • Students work in pairs, select one of the problems identified, meet with the therapist to learn about the context of the problem and the therapist's evidence needs, generate a clinical question, plan and conduct their search, appraise the literature, and then produce a final report. Examples of repeating topics include interventions to manage shoulder subluxation after stroke and use of splints to promote hand function among people with spinal cord injury. [...] it may be that researchers are not asking the questions that therapists in the field need or want to have answered.
