What this paper is
This is a theoretical commentary and practice guide for researchers on how to conduct co-production research in rehabilitation. It discusses principles like power sharing and relationship building, and offers strategies for research teams, but it reports no patient outcomes, no clinical trials, and no evidence that any specific intervention works. There is nothing here to change your clinical practice with a patient on Monday.
