Thanks for Visiting PEDro at #WorldPhysio2025!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by the PEDro stall at #WorldPhysio2025! It was a pleasure connecting with so many physiotherapists, educators, researchers, and students from around the world. We loved hearing about how PEDro supports evidence-based physiotherapy in your clinics, classrooms, and in your work.

The PEDro pre-congress social brought together Association representatives, PEDro raters, volunteers, and friends from across the globe. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate our shared commitment to evidence-based physiotherapy as well as the global spirit and collaboration that define PEDro.

Throughout the congress, PEDro featured in several key sessions, including:

Networking session: “Introducing PEDro”

Platform presentation: “Global contributions to the PEDro database”

Poster: “Unequal randomisation is underused in clinical trials of physiotherapy interventions: a review of 47,448 trials”

Discussion session: “The value of systematic reviews – are we producing research waste?”

Discussion session: “The value of guidelines”

Discussion session: “Knowledge translation – the ongoing challenge of getting research into practice”

World Physiotherapy session: “Research priorities to advance the global physiotherapy profession”

PEDro Prize: Judging and award for the best randomised controlled trial of the congress. Details will be shared next month.

At the PEDro stall, we were delighted to introduce PEDro to many who hadn’t encountered it before and to reconnect with our long-time users. Demonstrating tools like the World-Wide Journal Club and the option to sign up for free evidence updates by email were simple ways to learn how to interpret evidence, and how to stay up to date with the latest, high-quality research.

As PEDro continues to grow, so does the need for support. To keep delivering free, trusted, accessible evidence, we need advocates, funding, and volunteers. Your help matters.
