“…Although relatively little information is available about the physical activity and physical fi tness levels of children with disabilities, these children often engage in less physical activity and have lower levels of physical fi tness compared to their peers without disabilities (Ferhall & Unnithan, 2002;Steele et al, 2004). They also have higher levels of obesity compared to their peers without disabilities (Rimmer, Rowland, & Yamaki, in press) and participate less in extracurricular school-based or after-school physical activity programs (Council on Sports Medicine & Fitness and Council on School Health, 2006;Schreiber, Marchetti, & Crytzer, 2004).…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Therapists typically prescribe some sort of homebased exercise program that the patient is expected to continue independently, but poor adherence to such interventions after discharge is common. 5 Part of the reason for this low compliance may be related to performing exercise in an isolated setting such as the home.…”

Supporting the transition of people with newly acquired and existing disability from rehabilitation into community-based health/wellness programs, services, and venues requires rehabilitation professionals to build evidence by capturing successful strategies at the local level, finding innovative ways to translate successful practices to other communities, and ultimately to upgrade and maintain their applicability and currency for future scale-up. This article describes a knowledge-to-practice framework housed in a national resource and practice center that will support therapists and other rehabilitation professionals in building and maintaining a database of successful health/wellness guidelines, recommendations, and adaptations to promote community health inclusion for people with disabilities. A framework was developed in the National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD) to systematically build and advance the evidence base of health/wellness programs, practices, and services applicable to people with disabilities. N-KATS (NCHPAD Knowledge Adaptation, Translation, and Scale-up) has 4 sequencing strategies: strategy 1-new evidence- and practice-based knowledge is collected and adapted for the local context (ie, community); strategy 2-customized resources are effectively disseminated to key stakeholders including rehabilitation professionals with appropriate training tools; strategy 3-NCHPAD staff serve as facilitators assisting key stakeholders in implementing recommendations; strategy 4-successful elements of practice (eg, guideline, recommendation, adaptation) are archived and scaled to other rehabilitation providers. The N-KATS framework supports the role of rehabilitation professionals as knowledge brokers, facilitators, and users in a collaborative, dynamic structure that will grow and be sustained over time through the NCHPAD.Video abstract available for additional insights from the authors (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A130).
