Welcome to the PEDro World-Wide Journal Club. The purpose of the PEDro World-Wide Journal Club is to encourage the global physiotherapy community to read trials, reviews and guidelines that have important implications for clinical practice. We hope that facilitating discussion of this research will help physiotherapists to implement the results into their clinical practice.
Journal clubs are a great way to translate research into practice. In March 2020 PEDro published a blog that outlined some key features of running a successful journal club. Since then, PEDro has run nine journal clubs which have been well received. The idea is for physiotherapists to use resources provided by PEDro as the basis for running a local journal club with their peers.
This PEDro World-Wide Journal Club is about training bicycle riding in ambulant children with cerebral palsy. We will be discussing the randomised controlled trial by Toovey et al (2022). We encourage physiotherapists with an interest in paediatrics and neurological physiotherapy to participate in a five-step process:
- invite your colleagues to be involved
- read the article
- watch (or listen to) the video summarising the training bicycle riding in ambulant children with cerebral palsy trial
- watch (or listen to) the video of the panel discussing the training bicycle riding in ambulant children with cerebral palsy trial
- meet with your colleagues to have your own discussion about the training bicycle riding in ambulant children with cerebral palsy trial
If you are interested in being involved, please visit the PEDro web-site for more information.
