PMID 35533736WHAT IT FOUND
Recommendations in this stroke rehabilitation position paper are not tested interventions.
It reports no original patient outcomes, so there is nothing here to change practice.
What this paper is
This is a position paper from a rehabilitation task force recommending ways to support stroke recovery during the pandemic. It describes challenges and proposed actions but reports no original methods, participants, or outcomes, so there is no finding to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the recommendations as evidence that a rehabilitation approach works. This position paper reports no original outcomes, so it cannot show effectiveness.
