Rehabilitation Research Focused on Neurorehabilitation

This article describes how the practice area of neurorehabilitation has been plagued by an over reliance on anecdotal interventions and overuse of non-standardized assessments until relatively recently. Occupational therapists have realized the need to raise the bar first and foremost so the cutting-edge and high-quality service be provided to those served and to ensure the viability of occupational therapy as a reimbursable and necessary service. Fortunately, a renewed focus on evidence-based and occupation-based practice has resulted in a substantial increase in the research available to interpret and implement neurorehabilitation.
