Scepticism, determinism and empiricism are identified as three major elements underpinning a scientific approach. Each element is defined, elaborated upon and pragmatic recommendations offered in order to facilitate the implementation of these elements in physiotherapy practice.436-439Knowledge basescepticismdeterminismempiricismarticlehttp://doi:10.1016/S0031-9406(05)66719-3
