Each student is to select one research article pertaining to a scientific study that discusses a specific patient population and a physical therapy-related treatment or activity. Since this relates to the concurrent class assignment for Patient Care Procedures, each student is allowed to use one of their selected articles for that project (but each student must select their own article- not one per pairing).
Each student is to submit a file or properly working link to allow the instructor to access their chosen article. Failure to do so may result in a 1 point deduction of the assignment.
Answer the following questions in your own word to reflect your own interpretation of the information to address the following questions.
1. What is the purpose of the article? [2 points]
2. How was the research conducted? [Identify the design or type of evidence, summarize the methods and procedures- 4 points]
3. What did the authors find (i.e., results and conclusions)? [4 points]
4. What are at least TWO strengths of the research? What are at least TWO weaknesses of the research? Explain your answers. [4 points]
5. What is at least ONE clinical implication(s) you inferred from the research? [2 points]
