The growing field of regenerative rehabilitation has great potential to improve clinical outcomes for individuals with disabilities. However, the science to elucidate the specific biological underpinnings of regenerative rehabilitation-based approaches is still in its infancy and critical questions regarding clinical translation and implementation still exist. In a recent roundtable discussion from International Consortium for Regenerative Rehabilitation stakeholders, key challenges to progress in the field were identified. The goal of this article is to summarize those discussions and to initiate a broader discussion among clinicians and scientists across the fields of regenerative medicine and rehabilitation science to ultimately progress regenerative rehabilitation from an emerging field to an established interdisciplinary one. Strategies and case studies from consortium institutions-including interdisciplinary research centers, formalized courses, degree programs, international symposia, and collaborative grants-are presented. We propose that these strategic directions have the potential to engage and train clinical practitioners and basic scientists, transform clinical practice, and, ultimately, optimize patient outcomes.
再生康复领域的不断发展有很大潜力可以改善残疾人士的临床结果。然而，阐明基于再生康复的方法的具体生物学基础的科学仍处于起步阶段，关于临床转化和实施的关键问题仍然存在。在最近一次来自再生康复利益相关者国际联合会的小组讨论中，确定了该领域进展的关键挑战。本文的目的是总结这些讨论，并在再生医学和康复科学领域的临床医生和科学家之间发起更广泛的讨论，最终将再生康复从一个新兴领域发展为一个成熟的跨学科领域。来自联合会机构的策略和案例研究，包括跨学科研究中心、正规课程、学位项目、国际研讨会和合作资助，都有所介绍。我们提出，这些战略方向有可能吸引和培训临床医生和基础科学家，改变临床实践，并最终优化患者的结果。
