PEDro
is the Physiotherapy Evidence Database. PEDro is a free database of over 36,000
randomised trials, systematic reviews, and clinical practice guidelines in
physiotherapy.
For
each trial, review or guideline, PEDro provides the citation details, the
abstract and a link to the full text, where possible.
All
trials on PEDro are independently assessed for quality. These quality ratings
are used to quickly guide users to trials that are more likely to be valid and
to contain sufficient information to guide clinical practice.
The latest
clinical practice guidelines, systematic reviews and clinical trials for each
area of physiotherapy and for selected topics in physiotherapy include:
- Cardiothoracics
- Continence and women’s health
- Ergonomics and occupational health
- Gerontology
- Musculoskeletal
- Neurology
- Oncology
- Orthopaedics
- Paediatrics
- Sports
