Abstract:
The Stroke Rehabilitation Evidence-Based Review was designed to be a comprehensive review of the stroke rehabilitation literature. Despite a wealth of research, which included 272 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), many research questions remained unanswered. In the absence of strong evidence (at least two RCTs confirming the efficacy of a treatment), a research gap was identified. These gaps, in areas of research rehabilitation research considered to be of clinical significance, are presented in this article as unanswered research questions.
