The relationship between evidence based medicine (EBM) and rehabilitation is somewhat controversial. Cochrane Rehabilitation is born in 2016 to improve this difficult relationship. Discover in this Symposium what are Cochrane (the world institute currently recognized as the gold standard of evidence production), a Cochrane review (the best product of evidence synthesis in medicine), and Cochrane Rehabilitation (the newborn field that provides a knowledge translation effort in rehabilitation); how to find and receive all information about the last produced Cochrane evidence; how to contribute individually or with your institute to improve evidence production in rehabilitation.

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participant will be able to understand the value of different evidence synthesis products
• Upon completion, participant will be able to access Cochrane Evidence relevant to rehabilitation
• Upon completion, participant will be able to discuss some of the main problems of evidence production in rehabilitation
