Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs)
CPGs are graded recommendations on best practice based on the systematic review and evaluation of the quality of the scientific literature. They bridge the gap between evidence and recommendation and are comprised of both evidence-based and expert-based information to guide clinical practice decision-making.

Traumatic Brain Injury Evidence Database to Guide Effectiveness (TBI EDGE)
An ANPT task force of leaders in treatment and research for patients with brain injuries met and reviewed hundreds of applicable resources for clinicians to provide recommendations for outcome measures used in clinical practice, research, and entry level physical therapist education.
The Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy (JNPT)
JNPT is the official, quarterly publication of the ANPT that is a resource for advancing neurologic physical therapy practice through the dissemination of definitive evidence, translation of clinically relevant knowledge, and integration of theory into education, practice, and research.
JNPT also offers a Discussion Board for professional collaboration and discussion of treatment strategies and current research and its impact on clinical practice.
