Thank you for your reply, physiobase but this is actualy an example of where things seem to go wrong: There is no conclusion overall when we look at research. Within research when human being are concerned nonconclusive evidence becomes normal. 1 research tells this and another tells that. One must have at least a PhD to be familiar enough with how a research is performed, methodology name it. Still no conclusive evidence about research results and what they extualy imply and this has been since I did my studies, mid '80ties. Now since there has been this hype about evidence based practice as being the way foreward don't you agree that before encouraging such a step it might be a good idea why there are so many controversies in research. Maybe the problem lies that a human being is not to be look at as a constant factor but a far to complex group of variables. If I am right then to my opinion the whole idea of evidence based practice becomes extremely controversial. And I have the impression that neither you are that impressed. Do we have to reconsider how research within physiotherapy is done? I would definetely say so! And leave the higher ground of evidence based until we have something to base it on!
cheers.
