15th International Congress of The World Confederation for Physical Therapy
CD of Abstracts
Every four years WCPT hosts a scientific Congress showcasing advancements in physical therapy research, practice and education.
The theme for 2007, Moving Physical Therapy Forward, is seen as a unifying theme encompassing global change, challenges and opportunities for the profession of physical therapy and the governments, professionals and populations we work with. Five core programme tracks will draw together different sessions that complement each other and underpin this theme. Where better to move physical therapy forward than at its prestigious international Congress!
WCPT Congresses have a reputation for being inclusive, embracing diversity and providing an environment where experiences can be shared, lessons learnt, life-long friendships made and a new outlook on the profession developed.
The published abstracts represent an invaluable resource for physical therapists throughout the world interested in advancing practice and scholarship to provide better care for patients and our communities. We thank our world colleagues for contributing not only their time and energies into the production of these works but for their creativity, vision and innovation.
