Abstrakt     Rehabilitation medicine has advanced considerablyas third branch of medicine (the other two being preventive and curative). However, it cannot develop further without concentrated efforts on research and evidence based developement. This is essential for the following reasons: to improve clinical practice and make it evidence-based; to provide proof of both its effectiveness and cost effectivenes; to improve the quality of life of people with disability; to strengthen its academic presence in schools of medicine In other words evidence based medicine in rehabilitation medicine has to specify fhe nature of a clinical problem, to evaluate the effectiveness of the way for solving it, and to convey its findings to those engaged in clinical practice as well as those who pay for the services. Rehabilitation medicine is one of the relatively young fields of healthcare, which grew its roots after the First World War and has been growing as a branch of modern medicine since the World War ll. In the world of today, which since then has not faced consequences of warand other catastrophes, the development of rehabilitation medicine has been ad vanced by demographic changes in Europe and North America. Rehabilitafion medicine is no longer regarded as (solely) a right based on health or disability insurance but as an increasingly important factor affecting the quality of life of persons with various consequences of injuries and diseases. Rehabilitation medicine is not only interested in how to add years to life but how to add life to years and thus keep the abilities for an independent life also in the old age.
