Special Interest Groups
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are formal groups approved by the WFNR Presidium whose members have unique interest around a particular diagnostic group or focused practice area. SIGs are self-directed and have an agenda of work or involvement that sustains the group throughout the year. Their goals and objectives are compatible with the overall direction of the WFNR.
Education and Research
One of our key objectives is to advance the development and improve the quality of neurological rehabilitation across the world. By providing education and training to all people involved awareness of neurorehabilitation, its practice and service provision.
