Summary:

Evidence-Based Rehabilitation: A Guide to Practice is designed as an entry-level book on evidence-based practice in rehabilitation. Specifically written for rehabilitation practitioners, this exceptional text is not designed to teach students how to do research, but rather how to become critical consumers of research, therefore developing skills to ensure that their rehabilitation practice is based on the best evidence that is available. Much of the text focuses on how knowledge is developed, making it an essential tool for both students and practitioners. While providing the most up-to-date information about evidence-based practice, this comprehensive and well-organized text focuses on building skills for understanding and using evidence, rather than simply doing research. By viewing evidence-based practice from a holistic perspective, this text also recognizes the need to include client preferences and therapists
