The Critical Appraisal Guide provides clinicians with a structured approach to evaluating the quality, validity, and applicability of neurorehabilitation research. It outlines key principles for assessing study design, methodology, outcomes, and relevance to clinical practice, making it easier to distinguish high-quality evidence from studies with limitations.
Why It’s Important:
Critical appraisal is a cornerstone of evidence-based practice. By systematically evaluating research, clinicians can make informed decisions, ensure interventions are grounded in solid evidence, and confidently translate findings into patient care. This guide equips therapists with the skills needed to interpret studies accurately and integrate them effectively into practice.
