CIRRIE Database of International Rehabilitation Research
The CIRRIE Database is produced by the Center for International Rehabilitation Research Information and Exchange. International in scope, the center collects bibliographic citations from all areas of rehabilitation.
In addition to indexing from mainstream journals and internet sites, the database has over 30,000 citations. Over 1400 journals are represented, and abstracts are available for most citations.
Searches can be limited by research area, geographic area, language and year. The database covers 1990-present.
Cochrane Library
The Cochrane Library is designed to bring together high-quality evidence to inform people providing and receiving healthcare, and those responsible for research, teaching, funding and administration at all levels.

ERIC
Provided by the US Education Resource Information Center, ERIC is a database of journal and non-journal literature.
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP): Clinical practice rehabilitation guidelines
This site contains a database of web-based EBCPGs from recent scientific publications. This database is a teaching and reference tool allowing students and rehabilitation specialists from Allied Health Professions to make informed decisions in choosing an effective intervention for their client.

PubMed/Medline
PubMed (otherwise known as Medline) is provided by the US National Library of Medicine. it includes 19 million references to journal articles in life sciences with a concentration on biomedicine.
The broad coverage of the database includes basic biomedical research and the clinical sciences since 1951 including nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, allied health, and pre-clinical sciences.
PEDro
PEDro is the Physiotherapy Evidence Database produced by The Centre of Evidence-Based Physiotherapy at the School of Physiotherapy, University of Sydney.
The database has been developed to give rapid access to bibliographic details and abstracts of randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines in physiotherapy.
Most trials on the database have been rated for quality to help you quickly discriminate between trials that are likely to be valid and interpretable and those that are not.

REHABDATA
The REHABDATA database contains approximately 69,000 abstracts of books, reports, articles, and audiovisual materials relating to disability and rehabilitation research.
Each abstract includes bibliographic information, a 250-word abstract, and, when appropriate, information regarding the project that produced the document.
The index spans research from 1956 to the present.

Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN)
The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) develops evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland. SIGN guidelines are derived from a systematic review of the scientific literature and are designed as a vehicle for accelerating the translation of new knowledge into action to meet our aim of reducing variations in practice, and improving patient-important outcomes.

The UK Clinical Research Network
The UK Clinical Research Network was established to support clinical research and to facilitate the conduct of trials and other well-designed studies across the UK.
As part of the UK Clinical Research Collaboration, UKCRN works towards the development of a world-class infrastructure to support clinical research in the UK.
UKCRN includes current research formally on National Research Register (NRR).

TRIP database
The TRIP Database is a clinical search engine designed to allow clinicians to quickly find answers to their clinical questions using the best available evidence. The TRIP Database started in 1997 as a result of the work of the founders (Jon Brassey and Dr Chris Price) in answering clinical questions. They recognised that searching multiple websites separately for relevant information was time-consuming. The creation of the TRIP Database allowed the simultaneous searching of multiple sites, hence speeding up the question answering process. Free registration is available.
Rehabilitation Measures Database
The Rehabilitation Measures Database was developed to help clinicians and researchers identify reliable and valid instruments used to assess patient outcomes during all phases of rehabilitation.
The database provides evidence-based summaries that include concise descriptions of each instrument’s psychometric properties, instructions for administering and scoring each assessment as well as a representative bibliography with citations linked to PubMed abstracts. Whenever possible, we have also included a copy of the instrument for the users to download or information about obtaining the instrument
