Critically appraised topic in Sports Medicine 
Critically appraised topic in OT
A critical review requires you to critique the literature. This type of critical appraisal, of the scholarly literature, requires that you demonstrate an understanding of diverse methods, research analysis, and the ability to synthesize and draw one's own conclusions for implications for practice. It is crucial for learners to be able to distinguish the "best" evidence from flawed research studies.
