This is a video of a keynote lecture delivered at the 2018 EACD meeting in Tbilisi Georgia. A useful overview of the challenges facing the development of new therapy interventions and proving the efficacy of all therapy interventions. There is a particular emphasis on 3 areas:
- Dosage,
- Trial results- average results against the results for individuals and
- Genetic and Epigenetic factors.
Diane discusses physiotherapy but the points made relate also to other therapy disciplines and interventions. A very useful and interesting lecture. Well-presented and clear.
