The Future of Rehabilitation is Here.
At Brooks Rehabilitation, a multidisciplinary team of researchers, educators and clinicians are united through our Clinical Integration and Research Division with the common goal of improving patient care and recovery outcomes.
By generating new evidence and implementing the latest discoveries into clinical practice, we are dedicated to moving the science of rehabilitation forward.
Supporting a learning health system
Our Clinical Integration and Research Division (CI&R) assists patient-facing teams in utilizing clinical data to enable the initiation and use of evidence to improve patient care.
Brooks’ learning health system continually works to ensure improvement of the quality, cost and access of care for patients we serve in the community, across the U.S. and internationally.
Our research centers and institutes
CI&R combines the power of our research and data centers with our education institute to empower clinicians in providing the highest level of care possible to patients at Brooks.
Clinical Research Center
The Brooks Clinical Research Center is committed to advancing rehabilitation science, technology and care through research.
Center for Outcomes Analytics and Research
COAR plays a pivotal role in advancing data-driven, evidence-based practices to elevate the quality of rehabilitation care.
Institute of Higher Learning
The IHL provides residencies, fellowships and continuing education that is at the forefront of evidence-informed practice and professional development.
Motion Analysis Center
A specialized clinical and research assessment facility focused on gait and movement impairments in people of all ages and conditions.
Center for Innovation
Supporting internal and external clinical trials for rehab technology while identifying the best ways to introduce and integrate new technologies into clinical practice.
Brooks – UF PHHP research collaboration
The interdisciplinary partnership between Brooks Rehabilitation and the University of Florida’s College of Public Health and Health Professions is dedicated to advancing rehabilitation research that improves clinical care and patient outcomes.
Collaborate with us
Brooks’ research divisions support collaboration from the community, health care investigators, providers and rehabilitation technology companies.
Providers and health care investigators
We work with health care investigators and providers from education institutes and other health systems on current research being conducted at Brooks. Learn how to get involved or register for future opportunities at Brooks.
Patients and community members
Brooks is continually conducting clinical trials, research studies and events for patients and people living in the community with a disability or condition. Review our active studies and learn how to participate.
Industry Collaborators
Interested in conducting a clinical trial at Brooks Rehabilitation for your organization? Our Center for Innovation has the access to a diverse and vast patient population to help bring your emerging tech to market or achieve FDA approval.
Current research studies and clinical trials
We have hundreds of participants helping us conduct a variety of research studies and clinical trials across Brooks’ system of care. Our studies focus on stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, musculoskeletal pain and more.
AFO Study (Mobility and Quality of Life after Stroke)
Brooks Rehabilitation is conducting a multi-site study in collaboration with University of Texas at Austin to improve mobility and quality of life for stroke survivors using ankle foot orthoses (AFOs).
HyPER-FLO Study (Hypoxia Pathways for Early Recovery after SCI)
Spinal cord injuries can weaken breathing and coughing, which can lead to serious health problems. The goal of this pilot study is to compare two types of acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) treatments in people who recently had a spinal cord injury.
UP2 (Walking and Cognition)
This study will involve 18 sessions of intense walking exercise combined with mild, non-invasive brain stimulation in older adults who may or may not have noticed changes in their cognition.

A message from Mark Bowden, PT, PhD
The mission of Brooks Rehabilitation is to empower people to achieve their highest level of recovery through excellence in rehabilitation. This is why we are wholly committed to advancing rehabilitation care, technology, education and patient outcomes by supporting a learning health system model at Brooks.
The vision of Clinical Integration and Research is to take new evidence discovered by our nationally recognized research teams and clinicians, paired with our practice-driven data, and implement this best new evidence for rehabilitative treatments across our entire system of care.
Through our division researchers, clinicians, data scientists and educators come together to collaborate on advancing outcomes for populations who have experienced neurologic injuries such as stroke, brain injury or spinal cord injury, as well as individuals who are battling musculoskeletal pain or other disabling conditions.
Brooks’ research, data and innovation centers, and education institute are led by highly knowledgeable and respected researchers, educators and clinicians who have dedicated their lives to advancing the science of physical rehabilitation for patients across the globe. We invite you to join us in advancing the future of patient-centered care.
