Abstract
This scoping review utilized the JBI methodology to investigate methods of goal-setting used in the rehabilitation of adults with physical dysfunctions. Electronic databases were searched for articles published in the last 5 years. The inclusion of articles and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. Results were presented and synthesized numerically and thematically analyzed. Results suggest that goals should be client-centered and specific and long-term goals, should be complemented with medium and short-term goals. While various goal-setting methods are used in current practice, their full potential is often not realized due to improper implementation. Therefore, there is a need for educating clinicians to improve the goal-setting process and ensure its effectiveness.
