What this paper is
This paper outlines six recommendations for how to design and conduct rehabilitation research, developed through a nominal group technique with experts and service users. It does not report patient outcomes, test an intervention, or provide evidence that changes clinical practice directly. There is nothing here to act on for a therapist treating a patient.
