title: Maximizing research relevance to enhance knowledge translation.
abstract: This supplement focuses on an important issue in rehabilitation medicine: how to maximize research relevance in order to enhance knowledge translation into clinical practice. Authors provide insights into issues and barriers impacting effective translation of evidence into practice and provide useful guidance for rehabilitation researchers and practitioners on how to structure lines of inquiry to enhance clinical relevance. While this supplement will provide meaningful information to rehabilitation researchers, the content will also be of interest to clinicians, consumers of rehabilitation services, and reviewers for journals featuring rehabilitation research.
