Global statements to produce and implement evidence in the post-COVID-era provide a path forward for rehabilitation - A joint initiative of Cochrane Rehabilitation and the leading journals in the field

“…rehabilitation science to accept EBM. Other reasons include challenging methodological research issues in our field [11] and the difficulties associated with the reporting of results [12]. Nevertheless, it has become clear that the practice of rehabilitation benefits from and is in need of an EBM approach.…”

“…initiatives [12]. Cochrane Rehabilitation and rehabilitation journals are committed to "collaborate [as] groups that have complementary comparative advantages, and help to build a better evidence-support system ... and architecture", "improve the ways in which [we] support the use of best evidence" and to "prepare derivate products communicating what we know in ways that make sense to their target audiences" [5].…”

Global statements to produce and implement evidence in the post-COVID-19 era provide a path forward for rehabilitation – A joint initiative of Cochrane Rehabilitation and the leading journals in the field

“…A narrow approach to evidence, based on only RCTs and confusion between the means and the aim, has contributed significantly to the diffidence in rehabilitation science to accept EBM. Other reasons include challenging methodological research issues in our field [11] and the difficulties associated with the reporting of results [12] . Nevertheless, it has become clear that the practice of rehabilitation benefits from and is in need of an EBM approach.…”
