Abstract

This article represents a summary of the George Burniston Oration of the Australian Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, which was given as a keynote address at the 6th World Congress on Brain Injury, Melbourne, May 2005. The paper concerns evaluation of the evidence for effectiveness of rehabilitation following acquired brain injury (ABI). It explores the current evidence available, and discusses a number of different review strategies which may be used to overcome the challenges of assimilating research evidence in this context.
