PMID 33782276WHAT IT FOUND
This paper outlines a framework for managing research teams virtually during the pandemic.
It offers no clinical findings or patient outcomes, so it does not change how therapists treat patients.
What this paper is
This is a methodological commentary describing how to adapt interdisciplinary rehabilitation research collaborations to virtual settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses the 'Forging Alliances in Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Research' (FAIRR) model, offering suggestions for technology use, team communication, and study redesign. It does not report patient outcomes, test an intervention, or generate clinical evidence, so there is nothing here to change your practice on.
