The University of Manitoba’s Rady Faculty of Health Sciences’ College of Rehabilitation Sciences and Riverview Health Centre have announced a new research chair focused on rehabilitation and telerehabilitation technology. The Research Chair in Telerehabilitation will be held by UManitoba professor Dr Ruth Barclay. In this role, Barclay will lead the development of a rehabilitation research program that focuses on new technologies that improve access to rehabilitation care for those who might otherwise struggle to receive it. “Telerehabilitation and the use of new technology improves access to care in rural and remote communities, but we need the research and evidence to support that,” said Riverview CEO Kathleen Klaasen.
