Focus for research design, statistical analysis, critical inquiry, and clinical appraisal of the strength of evidence, as well as integrating the evidence with clinical judgement and the patients’ values are presented. Provides framework for subsequent system-based practice management courses in which scientific foundations of physical therapy practice are presented.
