As you asking here I am telling about NATA Evidence Based Practice as per NATA (National Athletic Trainers' Association) report, Evidence-based medical practice has 5 components: defining a clinically relevant question, searching
for the best evidence, appraising the quality of the evidence,
applying the evidence to clinical practice, and evaluating the
process.

Evidence-based medicine integrates the research evidence,
clinician’s expertise, and patient’s preferences to guide
clinical decision making. Critical to this effort is the availability
of quality research on the effectiveness of sports medicine techniques.
Athletic training outcomes research is lagging behind
that of other health care professions.

Defining Clinically Relevant Questions. Situations arise
in the athletic training setting daily in which there is a question
about the best course of action.

In addition, an athlete may present with an unusual case not seen before and so the athletic trainer may be uncertain as to the appropriate care.

Therefore, every time a clinician sees a patient, some need for information
regarding the diagnosis, prognosis, or management is generated.


Sometimes the information is easy to find, such as rehabilitation
protocols for anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. Much of the time, however, the needed information is not easily accessible, and this is the point in the clinical decision-making process when answerable questions are formulated and the opportunity to initiate the EBM learning process is offered.
