AB Clinical  judgment  has  always  been  a  guide  for  good  practitioners.  Before  physical  therapists  were  able  to  use  theoretically  grounded  and  methodologically  tested  research  hypotheses  that  provided  scientifically  sound  evidence  to  guide  clinical  decision  making,  they  sought  guidance  from  well-developed  practice  knowledge  and  clinical  reasoning.  When  good  practitioners  attempted  new  interventions,  they  carefully  observed  the  situation  and  could  recall  successes  and  failures.  Studies  of  expertise  in  physical  therapy  have  helped  us  understand  this  important  element  in  evidence  based  practice  (EBP).1,2,3,4,5  The  deep  practice-based  knowledge  of  these  experts  gives  them  skill  in  active  reflection.1  Experts  use  all  three  elements  of  EBP  but  always  modulate  what  they  learn  from  the  literature  with  their  own  expert  judgment  to  best  meet  their  patients'  needs.
