Looking beyond the P-value

Abstract

Many physiotherapists find it challenging to apply research findings in practice because there is uncertainty about statistical interpretation. This commentary aims to explain three statistics that are often seen in the results sections of research papers, i.e. probability values, confidence intervals and effect sizes. Additionally, the importance of considering these values together is discussed. A better understanding of statistical interpretation could help physiotherapists to use research more effectively to guide care.
