The European Forum for Research in Rehabilitation hosted a webinar featuring Professor Boba Stokic, who presented on the misuse and proper usage of terms like "feasibility", "pilot", and "proof of concept" in rehabilitation research. Boba discussed the importance of conducting proper pilot studies and addressed questions about publishing small studies, sample size estimation, and the significance of transparent communication in research. The webinar also covered upcoming events, including a future presentation on data mining versus manual screening for systematic reviews.
