4. Evidence-Based Medicine
“The plural of anecdote is not data”
(Frank Kotsonis)
“In God we trust – all others bring data”
(Nik Bogduk)

Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
5. Evidence-Based Medicine
“The conscientious, explicit, and judicious
use of current best evidence in making
decisions about the care of individual
patients.”
Sackett DL, Rosenberg WM, Gray JA, Haynes
RB, Richardson WS. Evidence based
medicine: What it is and what it isn't. Br Med
J, 1996; 312:71–72.

Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
6. Evidence-Based Medicine
But, one problem exists -
Evidence is of no use if it is not integrated and
–
utilized in the assessment and treatment algorithm
Evidence must also extend to consumer awareness
–
6
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
7. Belief Systems
The impact of the provider's belief systems
may be greater than the evidence
Ross (1994):
“Our beliefs are the truth;
–
The truth is obvious;
–
Our beliefs are based on real data;
–
The data we select are the real data”
–
7
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
9. Belief Systems
“The inability to challenge our belief systems
in the face of good scientific evidence is the
primary limiting factor in the advancement of
both health care and coaching, as well as
human performance and injury prevention”
(Besselink 2008)
9
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
10. Belief Systems
It is a very uncomfortable struggle to integrate
evidence into your thinking – especially if it is
contrary to your current beliefs
10
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
11. Thinking
“To arrive at a contradiction
is to confess an error in
one’s thinking; to maintain a
contradiction is to abdicate
one’s mind and to evict
oneself from the realm of
reality”
(Rand)
11
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
12. Evidence ...
… regardless of it's
impact on the
provider's bottom
line or their personal
beliefs
It is an issue of cost,
of efficacy, and of
autonomy.

Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
13. Lessons Learned: Back Pain
What assessments?
●
What treatments?
●
Well-established clinical
●
guidelines
Use the lessons learned
from back pain research!

16. A Brief History Of
Running Injuries
Perceived causes:
Muscle imbalances
–
Lack of flexibility
–
Incorrect footwear
–
Leg length discrepancy
–
Foot structure
–
Too much speed work
–
Asymmetry and mal-alignment
–
16
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
17. A Brief History Of
Running Injuries
30+ years of scientific evidence would indicate:
No specific correlation between anatomic mal-
alignment or variations in the lower extremity
and any specific pathological entities or
predisposition to any “overuse syndromes”

19. “Normal”
“Malalignment is a
term that should be
reserved for gross
abnormalities, two
standard deviations
outside the norm”
(Reid 1992)

20. In the meantime ...
What do patients continue to hear from doctors,
chiropractors, and physical therapists treating
injured runners?
Muscle imbalances
●
Lack of flexibility
●
Incorrect footwear
●
Leg length discrepancy
●
Foot structure
●
Too much speed work
●
Asymmetry and mal-alignment
●

Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
22. MRI And Imaging
Perceived value of imaging in the assessment
process
Does the cost of imaging outweigh the
benefits?
Is imaging relevant and pertinent as a first line
of assessment?

26. MRI And Imaging
Lessons learned from back pain: 70% of
●
asymptomatics have a positive MRI
If a patient has a positive MRI, what does it tell
●
us?
Similar data exists for shoulders and knees
●
Well-established clinical guidelines would
●
indicate that this should not be a first line of
assessment
26
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
27. In the meantime ...
What will physicians and chiropractors have the
patient do as a first line of assessment?
MRI
–
Radiographs
–
CT scans
–
27
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
29. Assessment Techniques
Perceived value in the clinical reasoning
process
Three primary approaches:
Palpation-based
–
Movement-based
–
Provocation-based
–
29
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
30. Palpation

–
82.7% asymmetrical; 5% > 5mm
–
previous reports of 24 – 91% (in back pain
–
patients)
Can this be palpated?
–

●
sacroiliac joints. A roentgen stereophoto-grammetric
analysis. Spine 1989; 14(2): 162-5.

–
No difference between asymptomatic and
–
symptomatic joints
32
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
33. Assessment Techniques
Palpation-based assessment techniques are
●
inherently unreliable
What are the ramifications if two people can't
●
agree on what they feel – and do so
consistently?
If there is questionable inter-rater reliability,
●
then what is the level of validity?
33

36
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
37. Assessment Techniques
Movement-based and provocation-based
assessment techniques – reliability and validity
Centralization as a prognostic indicator
Repeated movement testing as reliable as MRI
but with far less cost!
37
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
38. In the meantime …
What do doctors, chiropractors, massage
therapists, and physical therapists continue to
utilize as a primary form of assessment and
upon which they base their clinical reasoning?
Palpation-based assessment techniques
–
38
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
44. Treatment Interventions
Based on the scientific literature regarding
treatment interventions, what do chiropractors,
massage therapists, and physical therapists
continue to utilize?
44
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
45. Community Standards
Accepted Community Standards Of Care
(what providers and patients consider “acceptable”)
vs
Evidence-Based Standards Of Care
(clinical guidelines; outcomes-driven)
45
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
46. Problem
ACSC and EBSC are not the same!
ACSC has unfortunately become “gold
standard” with patients
46
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
47. Responsibility
We continue to tell payors that evidence and
outcomes are important …
We continue to tell legislators that evidence and
outcomes are important …
We continue to tell students that evidence and
outcomes are important …
47
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
48. Responsibility
We continue to tell patients that evidence and
outcomes are important …
Our professional association continues to
advocate it ...
48
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
49. But In The Words Of Gandhi ...
“We must be the change
we wish to see in the
world”
49
Allan Besselink, PT, Dip. MDT
50. Challenge Your Thinking!
“We can't solve
problems by using the
same kind of thinking
we used when we
created them.”
(Einstein)
