Three fundamental components of evidence-based practice (Figure 1-1)
- Developing individual professional expertise
- Staying current on the best sources of external evidence (e.g., peer-reviewed research)
- Prioritizing client values and expectations
Study of movement as it relates to anatomy and physiology.
Kinesiology
A practice that relies on evidence for guidance and decision-making and includes developing individual expertise, staying current on the best sources of external evidence (e.g., peer-reviewed research), and prioritizing client values and expectations.
