Cristina Herrera-Ligero, Joaquim Chaler, Ignacio Bermejo-Bosch
PMID 36188966WHAT IT FOUND
This paper argues that healthcare training lacks sufficient education in biomechanics and functional assessment technology.
It proposes curriculum changes but reports no new clinical data or patient outcomes.
What this paper is
This is a narrative review and editorial proposal discussing gaps in rehabilitation training regarding biomechanics and assessment technology. It cites existing surveys and curriculum documents but reports no new primary data, patient outcomes, or intervention results. There are no findings here that directly change clinical practice for a specific patient.
What it does not show
The paper is a narrative review and opinion piece, not a systematic review or primary study. It relies on citing other surveys and curriculum documents rather than presenting new evidence.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat the proposed curriculum standards or the cited survey statistics as new evidence from this study. The authors are advocating for educational changes based on existing literature, not reporting original research findings.
