What? Synthesis of clinical practice guidelines in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

Synthesis is possible through visual overview per pathology and summary of clinical practice guidelines.

The visual overview centralizes all the recommendations of the last 10 years' clinical practice guidelines for a given pathology.

One recommendation is one circle.

Green is recommended for all people with the pathology.

Yellow is recommended some people with the pathology.

Red is not recommended for all people with the pathology.

Grey means no recommendation can be formulated at this point.

The darker the color, the stronger the recommendation (respectively from a recommendation based on good practice, to weak, moderate, and strong).

Here is a portion of the visual overview for conservative care for lateral elbow tendinopathy

A summary is presented by clinical practice guideline and contain all recommendations for assessment and conservative care, duly classified by strength of recommendation.

Here is the summary of Singh et al., 2023

Lateral elbow tendinopathy
For assessment
   For a specific subgroup of people, clinicians should consider

   Recommendation based on good practice

  • imaging only in case of diagnostic uncertainty

 

For conservative care
   Clinicians should consider

   Strong recommendation

  • physiotherapy

   Recommendations based on good practice

  • orthotics

  • physiotherapy for people who have experienced symptoms for over twelve months, especially if they have not previously undergone physiotherapy

  • postoperative physiotherapy

 

   Conflicting, insufficient or inconclusive evidence
  • dry needling

 

   Clinicians should not consider

   Strong recommendation

  • extracorporeal shockwave therapy

For who? For those interested in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

Clinical practice guidelines are selected when they are aimed at physical therapists (and often other healthcare professionals).

 

  • Physical therapists

  • Physiotherapy technicians

  • Occupational therapists

  • Chiropractors

  • Athletic therapists

  • Sports and family physicians

  • Researchers, professors and students in the field

  • And even more!

*Recommendations on pharmacological and invasive management are excluded as well as risk and prognostic factors.

How distributed? As good as possible.
