Review[Evidence-based grounds of physical therapy. Focus on training/exercise therapy of musculoskeletal problems].
Evidence of the benefit of exercise for patients with musculoskeletal problems was examined by analysing meta-analyses and systematic reviews. The literature search was confined to studies where pain and/or function was used as the outcome measure. ⋯ Of the systematic reviews, six out of 12 showed a positive effect and five were inconclusive, owing to the lack of clinical trials. We conclude that much more research in the field of exercise and physiotherapy is needed.

These regulations and rules are reviewed with respect to communication and information in the Danish Health Service.
