Summarize the results of each of the 3 articles provided (in EBP Part III) individually for comparison. You can do this in any format you want (table, paragraph, etc.), but table format is often the most effective – this is your way of comparing the information from each of your articles. This should include the following information from each journal article:
Is an orthosis recommended or not?
What specific type of orthosis(es) is/are recommended? (You should be identifying the orthosis(es) appropriately – reference your textbooks/notes)
If an orthosis is not recommended, what is recommended instead?
What is the purpose/benefit of using this orthosis(es) in this study?
Are there any negative effects from using the orthosis(es)? If so, identify them.
How long will the patient need to use the orthosis(es)?
Is there a specific wearing schedule identified?
Were any precautions identified?
