Abstract
In this issue, I am pleased to direct you to the next two articles in a series of consensus statements from the Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation Roundtable held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in May 2016. This meeting brought together 60 leading stroke experts to make recommendations regarding how to move stroke rehabilitation research forward, both from the perspective of animal studies and clinical trials. These articles were recently published in the International Journal of Stroke, but the importance of these issues to the field prompted several leading journals to reprint the articles so that they can be disseminated to a wider audience. Subsequent issue of Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair will contain the two remaining papers.
