Introduction
The Initiative for the Development of New Technologies and Practices in Rehabilitation (INSPIRE) aims to develop, evaluate, and implement novel technologies and interventions intended to enhance social roles and participation and health-related quality of life of individuals with physical impairments and functional disabilities.
Person-Centred
The needs of clients, caregivers and clinicians are at the center of the INSPIRE project. The project’s populations are at the forefront of an iterative research process that includes evaluations of needs, best practice and program evaluations, and the development and integration of new interventions and technologies in rehabilitation. The studies within INSPIRE will be guided by a knowledge translation process that includes all relevant stakeholder groups.
“Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.”

INSPIRE Team
