Muitos fisioterapeutas aderiram ao desafio #MyPTArticleOfTheMonth e vem compartilhando suas leituras com a comunidade internacional de fisioterapeutas. A maioria dos posts tem sido sobre revisões, grandes estudos de coorte e estudos de acurácia diagnóstica. A importância de avaliar a fidelidade do tratamento e de reportar intervalos de confiança 95% em ensaios clínicos randomizados.
