PEDro – the Physiotherapy Evidence Database – is is a free, Australian, web-based database of evidence relevant to physiotherapy. It contains citations of over 11,400 randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews, and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines relevant to physiotherapy. Where possible, abstracts and links to full-text versions of the documents are also provided.
The randomised controlled trials on PEDro are rated for quality to assist in discrimination between trials which are likely to be valid and interpretable and those which are not.
PEDro is maintained by the Centre for Evidence-Based Physiotherapy and is based at the School of Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney.
