The project represents the contributions of a number of people. We would like to first thank instrument authors for their contributions. Summaries are composed of peer reviewed research cited in each field. This research is then compiled by an instrument author and reviewed by relevant scientists and clinicians. Contributors have augmented this process with suggestions and recommendations.

American Physical Therapy Association Contributors
Body
Rehabmeasures actively collaborates with members of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), using a framework developed by the APTA Research Section titled EDGE (Evaluation Database to Guide Effectiveness). The EDGE framework has been used by the Neurology Section of APTA to develop recommendations for outcome measure use in neurologic physical therapy. The process has involved consensus based working groups, or EDGE task forces, that consider psychometric characteristics and clinical utility of measures appropriate for a diagnostic group, resulting in recommendations for use of measures by physical therapists in clinical practice, research and entry-level education. The individuals who have contributed content, reviews and recommendations include:
