A PARADIGM SHIFT FROM PRACTICE TO RESEARCH… EMERGENCE OF EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE

Abstract

What is change? Why is it difficult to either become a part of the change or to introduce the change? The abhorrent situations were faced with the introduction of Evidence Based Practice (EBP) in the emerging field of Rehabilitation. Globally, EB physical therapy practice (EBPTP) has brought innovation and revolution in the current practices of Physical Therapist (PT) and has become a challenge for them. Worldwide these challenges have already been popularized for more than twenty years but we might need another decade to practice it in Pakistan.
