Introduction to the Lateral Epicondyle Tendinopathy (Tennis Elbow) Toolkit[edit | edit source]
The Lateral Epicondyle Tendinopathy Toolkit is an evidence based clinical decision making aid to provide clinicians with information (both evidence-informed and expert-informed) to facilitate clinical decision-making regarding the management of Lateral Epicondylitis or "Tennis Elbow".
The development of this toolkit is one of multiple Physical Therapy Knowledge Broker projects (including a similar toolkit focused on Achilles Tendinopathy) supported by: UBC Department of Physical Therapy (Faculty of Medicine), Physiotherapy Association of BC, Vancouver Coastal Research Institute and Providence Healthcare Research Institute.
The following information is current as of June 2013.
Background to the Project[edit | edit source]
Translation of knowledge to practice in health care is a significant challenge[1][2][3]. A project was undertaken by a unique partnership of physical therapy researchers, educators and expert clinicians to address the gap between evidence and practice in the management of Achilles Tendinopathy.
Physiotherapy clinicians in British Columbia requested evidence-informed guidance on the management of tendinopathy. To address this need the provincial Physical Therapy Knowledge Broker assembled a team of researchers, educators and expert clinicians with the mandate to develop, disseminate and implement a toolkit of decision aids to guide clinical decision-making for Achilles Tendinopathy.
Toolkit Development[edit | edit source]
The process to develop the toolkit involved the following components[1][2][3][4]:
- Identification of the purpose and scope of the project
- Agreement on the processes for selection of content and format
- Creation of a mechanism for resolution of conflicting opinion
- An iterative feedback process with stakeholders
- The incorporation of concepts and strategies from the knowledge translation and implementation science literature to support the stages of knowledge synthesis, dissemination and implementation.
