Making progress towards evidence-based
stroke rehabilitation
Even if a reliable evidence base is available, it will only be
used if clinicians believe that EBP is a useful and relevant
approach to care. The experience of the Stroke Therapy
Evaluation Programme (STEP), a project funded by
Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland to promote evidence-
based stroke rehabilitation, is interesting in this context.
We found that rehabilitation clinicians in Scotland were
interested in EBP but felt they did not have the time,
resources, or support to carry it out [19]. We established,
through a variety of qualitative approaches [20], a series
of priorities for important clinical questions to be
addressed by systematic reviews and future research.
This exercise involved rehabilitation staff, stroke patients
and carers [21] and has resulted in the development of
a topic list covering agreed areas of importance. We are
now matching this topic list to the available trials and
systematic reviews. The ultimate aim of this process is
to make readily available the best quality evidence
addressing agreed topics of importance in stroke
rehabilitation.
