BACKGROUND Stroke is the leading cause of disability among neurological disorders. Evidence-based practices to reduce disability are presumed to be associated with more favorable outcomes. OBJECTIVE To assess whether implementation interventions are effective at increasing uptake of evidence-based practices in stroke rehabilitation. METHODS The Cochrane Review by Cahill et al. (2020) is summarized. RESULTS The effectiveness of implementation interventions on health professionals' use of evidence- based practices is uncertain. CONCLUSIONS There is an urgent need for future research investigating the utility of implementation interventions to ensure the uptake of evidence by health professionals for the benefit of stroke survivors.
