Brooks Center for Rehabilitation Studies
The Brooks Center for Rehabilitation Studies addresses the health, rehabilitation, and independent living needs of individuals with disabling conditions resulting from birth, injury, or disease. These include individuals with many types of conditions: brain and spinal cord injuries, stroke, muscular dystrophies, multiple sclerosis, amputation, chronic pain, arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions, cancer, and conditions that may result from the debilitating effects of medical treatment or the effects of prolonged inactivity. The Brooks Center addresses the full range of health- and rehabilitation-related interventions across all settings of care--in the hospital, in an extended care facility, in the clinic, at home, at school, in the workplace, and in the community at large. The Brooks Center also addresses the organization, delivery, and financing of health and rehabilitation services for individuals with disabling conditions through its research and training programs in health policy and health services research.

Centre for Evidence Based Physiotherapy - the Netherlands
To search, collect and disseminate available scientific evidence in the physiotherapy domain for physiotherapists, health care workers, patients and financiers of health care. Why? Within the physiotherapy community more and more Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) guidelines exist. However the process of updating, maintaining and initiating new guidelines is hampered by the fact that implementation research is lacking. Moreover, new and existing guidelines in the physiotherapy domain should be developed in an international setting, readily accessible to all physiotherapists and validated by means of benchmarking and electronic surveillance of patient and physiotherapist data. Goals of CEBP To collect and provide Evidence Based information to physiotherapists by means of web based applications, courses and publications; To develop, maintain and update Evidence Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for physiotherapy care; To develop, test and validate indicator driven physiotherapy and patient care; To facilitate benchmarking of physiotherapy practices and patient data; To perform implementation research of guidelines; To maintain a database with RCT’s, reviews and guidelines relevant to the physiotherapy profession; To maintain a datebase with outcome measures (full text) and their clinimetric properties (under development) specific for the physiotherapy domain; To maintain a datebase with the top 500 full text physiotherapy articles (as rated by PeDro) - available from october 2004; To perform these activities in an international setting.
