SCI Care: What Really Matters
Implementation of WHO:s Rehab 2030, Package of Interventions
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

Hello everyone. My name is Guillermo Gomez. I'm with Johanna, my mate. I'm a physiotherapist from Buenos Aires, argentina. I'm the current child person of the ISCO's Special Interest Group of Physiotherapists and the International Networking of Physiotherapists and Spinal Cord Issues. I'm the vice-chair of the Almes Lab Association as well. The Almes Lab Association is the Latin America and Caribbean Association of Spinal Cord Issues. With me is Joan.
Speaker 2:Hi, happy to be here. My name is Johanna Vangdell. I'm an occupational therapist in Gothenburg, sweden, and I'm super happy to welcome you to Sweden in October. I'm an occupational therapist. I'm also the chair of the OT special interest group within ESCOS and, together with Glerma, we have planned for a pre-workshop that we really want you all to come to.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were working on ESCOS occupational therapists and physiotherapists special interest groups. Final core injury pre-workshop day. The title is the implementation of WBHO-REAF 2030 Package of Interventions and how do we implement available research into interventions in our daily work. So this workshop is going to be an 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. So, joan, can you tell us the objectives and the main objective of this?
Speaker 2:So, joanne, can you tell us the objectives and the main objective of this Sure? So what Askelema already said, we don't want this to be. We want it to be a complement to the scientific conference. We want it to be more implementation of the science. So for the clinic to get an update on how to train and to participate and collaborate with our colleagues around the world. And we're going to have different topics and different aspects of the management of people with SEI, specific interest for the OTs and the PTs, which is very unique to have the colleagues from around the world coming to Gothenburg and spreading their knowledge. But from a more clinical perspective, how can we use this science into our daily practice, daily practice? So we're going to have different topics and maybe you can go into which typical topics.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that it's important to say that the main idea was conference. As well as making ISCOs more relevant for OTMPTs, we would like to see this workshop as a complement to the scientific congress.
Speaker 2:Yes, really no-transcript, and even though we want this to really attract more people to come to to the iscos meeting, I also want to stress that you are able to come just for the pre-congress pre-workshop. If you're not allowed to be away to so long for you from your work and not allowed to go to the scientific part of the conference, you can apply for just the workshop, even though we hope that everyone would come to the scientific program as well. But it's really a good opportunity for the clinicians to gather knowledge on the clinical work and to be more interested in the scientific part of ESCOS the research at the Congress and we will create a forum for discussions on how to implement new knowledge in this pre-workshop day.
Speaker 2:Yes, so please come, it's going to be super fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the 8th of October in Gothenburg, fromm to 5.30 pm.
Speaker 2:And after it's going to be networking and drinks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I forgot.
Speaker 2:It's going to be great. Yeah, so come, come, come, it's going to be fun.
