Abstract
ABSTRACT Introduction Clinical trials (CTs) are an essential component of modern health care, and a prerequisite to policy making. Clinical trials are the foundation of evidence-based practice and are the final legitimizer of any clinical discipline. Today, the allied health fields in general, and prosthetics and orthotics (P&O) in particular, are at an especially opportune position to launch CT initiatives: There are many “big questions” needing answers and a critical mass of field professionals capable of executing a CT operation. Materials and Methods None. Results None. Conclusion Here, we formalize the call for active engagement in CTs within P&O and provide a framework for CT design, with guidance that generalizes across the allied health fields.
