The physiotherapy profession acknowledges the importance teaching students basic and applied research principles through its published educational standards and normative model.
Research Topics for Physiotherapy Students aims is to do a long-term study on students to determine their perceptions regarding research knowledge, the best source of clinical information, and the best tools for managing patients in a clinic setting.
How can physiotherapy students choose manageable research topics?
Examine the literature and discover what is known. This will be your source for research questions.
What research and details are left on your problem? Did you discover any publications that could have “implications for future studies”? There are many research topics for students in physiotherapy. Let’s take a look at each topic.
