ISCoS OT and PT SIGs SCI Pre Workshop Day

“Implementation of WHO:s Rehab 2030, Package of Interventions”

How do we implement available research into interventions in our daily work?

Speaker details:

Guillermo Gomez, Physiotherapist from Buenos Aires, Argentina and Johanna Wangdell OT, PhD. Department of Occupational therapy and Physiotherapy at Sahlgrenska University hospital

Gothenburg Sweden

Current Chairperson of the International Network of Spinal Cord Injury Physiotherapists (SCIPT) and the ISCoS Physiotherapists Special Interest Group.

Current ALME – SLAP Vice chair (Latin American and Caribbean SCI Association).

What the workshop is:

Educational day with focus on implementation of research and to share clinical practice.

OT and PT have separate programs before lunch and a joint program in the afternoon.

Objectives:

To update and train participating colleagues on different topics and aspects dedicated to the management of people with SCI, oriented towards the rehabilitation work of OT and PT, and how do we implement available research into interventions in our daily work?

Our aim is not to be scientific, but to focus on implementing science. We will use WHO:s Package of Interventions as our framework to highlight that material as well.

Why you are doing it:

The main idea was born from a need of the OT and PT executive committees to hold a pre-day workshop for all colleagues attending the ISCOS annual congress to improve their knowledge in the field of SCI.

We hope that this can attract more OT/PTs to the scientific conference as well as making ISCOS more relevant for OT/PT. We would like to see this workshop as a complement to the scientific congress.

Why people should join:

Take advantage of this pre-workshop day to increase your experience and knowledge of the work of OT and PT within the rehabilitation team for people with SCI. We have speakers from different regions of the world who will cover the most interesting topics, assistive technology, tenodesis grip, functional arm-hand training, electrical stimulation, community based therapy, trunk muscle function, guidelines, wheelchair, among other…

The participants who do research will still present their research at the congress and we create a forum for discussions on how to implement new knowledge in the pre workshop.

When:

Gothenburg, October 8th, 2025. 9.00-17.30
