As editor of Occupational Therapy International it is my privilege to acknowledge the important research that occupational therapists are contributing in improving the health of those disabled by disability or injury. As health professionals it is vital that we base our treatment on scientific evidence. The research that is published internationally is the engine that drives clinical practice. The recent studies listed below describe some of the research that occupational therapists are carrying out.
