Knowledge translation intervention increased the use of outcome measures by physical therapists in inpatient rehabilitation.

Background And Purpose: Outcome measures (OMs) have been emphasized by healthcare professions to optimize patient examination; however, a lack of regular use of OMs exists. The purpose of this study was to describe the outcome of a knowledge translation (KT) intervention to increase the use of OMs by physical therapists in an inpatient rehabilitation setting.

Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-post study design was used.
