Collaborative Projects: Initiate at least one collaborative project to address measurement inequities in rehabilitation in collaboration with other ACRM interest groups and task forces. Anticipated Timeline: Begin by working on contributing to rehabilitation outcome measures database with properties of adapted/translated versions of measures. This will begin within 6 months of launching the task force and be an ongoing endeavor with periodic literature searches to keep up to date with new developments.
