The Freiburg/Bad Säckingen Rehabilitation Research Network aims on problem solutions in rehabilitation in Germany. The core concept of the Research Group is "goal orientation in diagnosis, therapy and evaluation". This concept refers to both individual goals of patients and structural measures. The 13 projects of the Research Group deal with topics such as "specific communication problems in rehabilitation", "differential indication", "health economics", "methods", and "intervention and evaluation". To establish a long-term internal network in the Research Group and to facilitate intensive communication and co-operation between the various university-based and non-university-based institutions of rehabilitation in the Research Group area, Project Management and Methodological Support Offices were created.
