Describe a “best evidence” approach for treating KNEE OA. Further, document your best recollection of evidence that you can use to support your description of “best evidence”. Try to include the lead author, journal name, and basic description of the study(ies) you have listed. Lastly, do not limit yourself to only articles related to manual therapy. For example, for acute ankle sprain, you would not just mention manual therapy. Instead you would want to list out something like this: RICE, manual therapy to the identified impairments in the rear foot, TC joint, and both prox/distal tib-fib joint; soft tissue work to the plantar foot and calf, gastroc/soleus stretching and strengthening to the lasteral and anterior compartment musculature of the leg; progression to speed/agility training, etc. Make it clear that you know the best evidence approach not just for manual therapy, but for orthopaedic manual therapy.
