AI Article Synopsis
- Advances in rehabilitation are improving patient care, but there are still significant gaps between research findings and their application in clinical settings.
- Knowledge translation (KT) strategies are necessary to bridge this gap and enhance the integration of research into practical rehabilitation methods.
- The authors outline a vision for a collaborative, evidence-based approach in rehabilitation that encourages stakeholder engagement and aims to improve patient outcomes and overall healthcare efficiency.
Article Abstract
Purpose: Advances in rehabilitation provide the infrastructure for research and clinical data to improve care and patient outcomes. However, gaps between research and practice are prevalent. Knowledge translation (KT) aims to decrease the gap between research and its clinical use. This special communication summarizes KT-related proceedings from the 2016 IV STEP conference, describes current KT in rehabilitation science, and provides suggestions for its application in clinical care.
Summary Of Key Points: We propose a vision for rehabilitation clinical practice and research that includes the development, adaptation, and implementation of evidence-based practice recommendations, which will contribute to a learning health care system. A clinical research culture that supports this vision and methods to engage key stakeholders to innovate rehabilitation science and practice are described.
Conclusions: Through implementation of this vision, we can lead an evolution in rehabilitation practice to ultimately prevent disabilities, predict better outcomes, exploit plasticity, and promote participation.
