RESULTS Knowledge translation interventions appear to have result ed in a positive change in physiotherapist beliefs , attitudes , skills and guideline awareness .
However , no consistent improvement in clinical practice , patient and economic outcomes were observed .
AND IMPLICATION OF KEY FINDINGS The intensity and type of knowledge translation intervention seem to have an effect on practice change .
BACKGROUND Many physiotherapists underuse evidence -based practice guidelines or recommendations when treating patients with musculoskeletal disorders , yet synthesis of knowledge translation interventions used within the field of physiotherapy fails to offer clear conclusions to guide the implementation of clinical practice guidelines .
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of various  knowledge translation interventions used to implement changes in the practice of current physiotherapists treating common musculoskeletal issues .
Reported quality of randomized controlled trials in neglect rehabilitation
The aim of this study is to assess the reported quality of r and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) on the effectiveness of neglect rehabilitation using a st and ardized scale . A search of seven electronic data bases was carried out . Selected articles were scored using the PEDro scale and classified as high or low quality study both with the original cut off of 6 and a modified cut off of 5 . A linear regression analysis between year of publication and quality rate was used to test whether the quality of the studies improved with time . A total of 18 RCTs were selected . Six articles ( 33.3 % ) and 10 articles ( 55.56 % ) were classified as having high quality when the original cut off or the modified cut off of the PEDro scale were used , respectively . Analysis shows no time-related changes in PEDro scores . The results show that reported quality is moderate for RCTs in neglect rehabilitation
