StrokEngine
StrokEngine is a database of research compiled by the Canadian Stroke Network. This site focuses on stroke rehabilitation and interventions. StrokEngine was created with the goal of bridging the gap in knowledge translation between research findings and current clinical practice. This site can be used to find the most current information about the value of the various interventions used in stroke rehabilitation.
Information is derived from quality articles, websites and systematic reviews. All have been reviewed using a systematic process.

Medical Rehabilitation Research Infrastructure Network
The MRRIN network comprises seven centers around the US that provide infrastructure and access to expertise, technologies, and resources from scientific fields including neurosciences, engineering, applied behavior, and the social sciences. The network is funded by The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), through the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (NCMRR), the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB). The goal of the program is to enhance the capability of medical rehabilitation investigators to understand mechanisms of functional recovery, develop therapeutic strategies, and improve the lives of people with disabilities.
