About the Webinar

Reporting guidelines are available for use by authors when writing up the results of musculoskeletal research, including manual therapy and exercise therapy research. However, many publications fail to appropriately report specifics on the methodology used or the interventions provided, which creates potential issues with the actual treatment effects reported. This webinar will highlight the current state of the musculoskeletal literature in relation to reporting and transparency. By the end of the webinar, the participant will be able to: 

  1. Describe what reporting guidelines are and why they are necessary in musculoskeletal research 
  2. Identify an appropriate checklist to implement for a specific research design
  3. Discuss reasons why low reporting and transparency affects clinical practice and future research
  4. Implement the use of an appropriate checklist and determine level of reporting when given a research study
