Hi valued members. This clinical tools section is a collaborative library of useful clinical information. We all know times change and ideas get updated. We can never be sure we are always presenting the most up-to-date information so we'd love it if you think you have something to contribute. Please submit it here and we'll review it.
If you have any data you would like to present here please let us know. Pilot studies that could assist others in deciding a post graduate direction or honors project are most welcome.
What can we say.... Well this section contains a bung of downloadable medical images. Some MRI's, a few X-rays and some nice 3D drawings.
These printable forms provide a quick prompt for practitioners when developing rehabilitation programs for their clients. We hope to provide more of these from a number of reputable organisations.
This section is dedicated to various assessment tools from around the world. Some are old, some are new yet all are useful for comparison and consideration.
This section is dedicated to Clinical Guidelines from around the world. Some are old, some are new yet all provide a useful starting point if you are researching what's out there in order to develop your own guideline.
This section contains articles that perhaps haven't been polished to journal quality yet have demonstrated a lot of individual effort and dedication. We hope you enjoy reading these more than anything else.
The section hopes to build into a useful overview of disease profiles. We hope it provides a quick reference point to refreshing the mind on all those things we learnt about as an undergraduate.
What more can we say. Outcome measures is a section to list any information that you provide us about the outcomes you have found. We love to get the data from any of these initiatives and welcome the opportunity to present it here for all to comment on and use as they see fit!
Many Physio Associations develop policy without ever consulting what the rest of the world have done or are currently doing. That in itself wastes a lot of time and money that could be better spent in reviewing and expanding on some else's preliminary work. We hope to build a list of policy from around the world to assist the fast development of policies and procedures in developing organisations and their countries. Please contribute your policies by posting them for consideration in this forum.
This section is dedicated to research methods and tools from around the world. All are useful for comparison and consideration. PhysioBob recommends that you assess all methods and data before accepting anything as gospel!
