[edit | edit source]

Clinical prediciton rules are mathematical tools that are intended to guide physiotherapists in their clinical decision making. The populaity of such rules has increased greatly over the past few years.

The intent of CPRs is to assist clinicians in making a diagnosis, establishing a prognosis, or implementing an intervention[1]. It has been suggested that well-constructed CPRs can improve clinical decision making and practice, there is a lack of consensus as to what constitutes a methodologically sound CPR.[2]
