Recognized
as one of the top five evidence-based journals of physiotherapy
worldwide, Physiotherapy Canada publishes the results of qualitative
and quantitative research including systematic reviews, meta analyses,
meta syntheses, public/health policy research, clinical practice
guidelines, and case reports. Key messages, clinical commentaries,
brief reports and book reviews support knowledge translation to
clinical practice.
In
addition to delivering authoritative, original scientific articles
and reports of significant clinical studies, Physiotherapy Canada's
editorials and abstracts are presented in both English and French,
expanding the journal's reach nationally and internationally.
Key
messages form an integral part of each research article, providing
a succinct summary for readers of all levels. This approach also
allows readers to quickly get a feel for 'what is already known'
and 'what this study adds to' the subject.
Clinician's
commentaries for key articles assist in bridging research and practice
by discussing the article's impact at the clinical level. The journal
also features special themed series which bring readers up to date
research supporting evidence-informed practice.
The
Canadian Physiotherapy Association
(CPA) is the national professional association representing
over 10,000 members distributed throughout all provinces and territories.
CPA's
mission is to provide leadership and direction to the physiotherapy
profession, foster excellence in practice, education and research,
and promote high standards of health in Canada.
