Abstract
To understand issues related to the value, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of rehabilitation
interventions, and to explore how scientific evidence, clinical expertise, and patient
needs can be integrated, the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Developing
Optimal Strategies in Exercise and Survival Skills to Increase Health and Function
held a State of the Science Symposium on “The Value of Rehabilitation Interventions”
at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago in 2017. During this conference, 35 invited
experts, including individuals with disabilities, professionals, and consumers, explored
the topic of the “value” of rehabilitation interventions and discussed their perspectives
on the means to integrate best scientific evidence with clinical expertise and patient
preferences. This symposium also resulted in the production of several multifaceted
articles providing perspectives on the topic of value and how to use evidence to best
determine and demonstrate it. These articles comprise this supplement. The present
article introduces the key concepts of value, evidence, and knowledge translation
in an effort to provide a context for the articles that follow in the supplement.
