The goal of rehabilitation goes far beyond just treating a medical condition! ๐ŸŒŸ
In this ISPRM 2026 preview, Dr. Eleftheria Antoniadou highlights why rehabilitation professionals are key players. Because they focus on function, they are the ones who help people move, participate, and remain independent in daily life.
This mission requires a lifelong interdisciplinary approach that supports mobility, prevents avoidable decline, and adapts both environments and care strategies. The ultimate goal? Ensuring people can live their meaningful and independent lives.

Are we treating the disease, or the function? ๐Ÿฉบ
In this ISPRM 2026 preview, Dr. Eleftheria Antoniadou highlights a major gap in modern healthcare. She explains it is important to understand the differences between aging with a disability (being disabled for most of your life) and aging into disability (where disability appears later in life).
Although these trajectories converge later in life and both present complex functional needs, a fundamental problem remains. As Dr. Antoniadou states, our healthcare systems are focused mainly on disease and not on function. This leaves them ill-equipped to meet the functional needs of this special population.
Do you agree that healthcare needs to shift its focus? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below! ๐Ÿ‘‡

14/03/2026

As the ISPRM 2026 World Congress approaches, we are excited to share a vital conversation between Dr. Muhammad Tawab Khalil and our upcoming keynote speaker, Dr. Eleftheria Antoniadou.

When disability and aging intersect, patients face an accumulation of vulnerability over time. Dr. Antoniadou points out a critical flaw in modern medicine: our healthcare systems are focused mainly on disease and not on function, meaning they often fail to meet the complex needs of patients aging with disabilities.

But there is a proactive future ahead! ๐ŸŒŸ In this full interview, Dr. Antoniadou shares how AI technologies, digital health tools, and integrated care models will completely transform how we support mobility and independence over a patient's lifespan.

Don't forget, the preliminary program for ISPRM 2026 in Vancouver is out now! You can register for the pre-conference workshops happening May 16th and 17th. See you there! ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

๐ŸŽ‰ What a fantastic kickoff to the ISPRM Spasticity SIG Journal Club!

Todayโ€™s inaugural session was a huge success. We were thrilled to welcome over 60 participants from a truly global communityโ€”including attendees from the USA, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Portugal, Morocco, Ireland, the UK, Belgium, Egypt, Norway, and Turkey!

A special thank you to Prof. Anand Pandyan for leading an excellent critical discussion on the original paper introducing the Ashworth Scale. The collaborative exchange and interactive learning were exactly what this initiative is all about.

If you want to strengthen your critical appraisal skills and connect with fellow clinicians and researchers, donโ€™t miss the next session!

Join the ISPRM Spasticity SIG for our next Journal Club of Historical Papers! ๐Ÿ“š

In this one-hour session, we are deconstructing Ashworthโ€™s original 1964 paper. While the Ashworth Scale is universally cited, the original article is rarely read in depth. We will critically analyze the paper and place it within the context of contemporary scientific knowledge on spasticity assessment.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Main Speaker: Prof. Anand Pandyan (Bournemouth University)
๐Ÿ‘ฅ Faculty: Prof. Rajiv Reebye (UBC) & Dr. Stefano Carda (CHUV Lausanne)

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Date: March 12, 2026

๐Ÿ“ Join us on Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/92539112534?pwd=vFU4qIzqMrUsae1oo6BRYHG8sxErSF.1

We look forward to a fantastic discussion!

Why? Because the ISPRM 2026 Preliminary Program is officially OUT, and we sincerely apologize for ruining your weekend plans. We just couldnโ€™t help ourselves.
Weโ€™ve packed this program with over 60 educational sessions, 1,000+ posters, and world-class keynotes that will transform how you see rehabilitation. Itโ€™s thicker than a stack of maple syrup pancakes, and definitely more satisfying for your career.

"We are indeed dazzled by high technology." ๐Ÿค–โœจ

In this insightful clip, Dr. Yudith Chivata calls for a shift in how we approach amputee care. She argues that we face a difficulty: with so much technology available, we often don't know what is best for each patient.

We must stop teaching from the "technological catalog" and thinking that the latest motorized knee that hit the market three days ago is the only way to regain a gait pattern. Instead, we need to return to teaching from the perspective of functional impact.

Agree? Let us know in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡
