Article

highlights the findings and application of Cochrane reviews and other
evidence pertinent to the practice of physical therapy.
The Cochrane library is a
respected source of reliable evidence related to health care. Cochrane systematic
reviews explore the evidence for and against the effectiveness and
appropriateness of interventions-medications, surgery, education, nutrition,
exercise-and the evidence for and against the use of diagnostic tests for
specific conditions. Cochrane reviews are designed to facilitate the decisions of
clinicians, patients, and others in health care by providing a careful review and
interpretation of research studies published in the scientific literature. Each
article in this PTJ series summarizes a Cochrane review or other scientific
evidence on a single topic and presents clinical scenarios based on real patients
or programs to illustrate how the results of the review can be used to directly
inform clinical decisions. This article focuses on an older adult with severe
knee joint pain. Can aquatic exercise help this patient with knee osteoarthritis?
