JOURNAL=Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences VOLUME=3 YEAR=2022 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/rehabilitation-sciences/articles/10.3389/fresc.2022.823159 DOI=10.3389/fresc.2022.823159 ISSN=2673-6861 ABSTRACT=

Six recommendations to facilitate rehabilitation research and supplement existing research practices were identified. Rehabilitation practice requires research addressing different long-term multi-faceted needs and perspectives of end users, including service users, professionals, politicians, and administrators. Research in rehabilitation should therefore integrate different research traditions and methods. Rehabilitation research with a broad focus is sparse, and most of the research takes its starting point in the biomedical research tradition. Through a nominal group process, we developed recommendations to emphasize important issues in rehabilitation research.
