ISPO 17th World Congress

#ISPOcongress19

InvitationISPO PresidentOn behalf of ISPO, I would like to personally invite you to the 17th World Congress in Kobe in 2019. The biennial World Congress is a highlight for all who deal with rehabilitation and assistive technology, in particular prosthetics and orthotics, wheelchairs and mobility devices. The Congress in Kobe will certainly be an exciting time for all, as we continue to develop everything from new service models to new technological solutions while we remain focused on the people who benefit from our services. Significant progress has taken place since our last meeting to assist individuals with disabilities at a global level as well as in many places at a local and individual level. Many of these developments will be highlighted in the numerous sessions being offered.

‘Basics to Bionics’ captures the breadth of the Congress in every aspect and the scientific sessions as well as the exhibition will expand this theme. The exhibition will also highlight new technological developments and robotics in use in rehabilitation and assistive technology.

The Congress will have something for everyone: for service users, for the ISPO community and the broader rehabilitation and assistive technology community as well as industry. I encourage all of you to make the effort to be in Kobe and I look forward to seeing you there.

‘Basics to Bionics’, the theme of the ISPO 17th World Congress, perfectly stretches the breadth of ISPO, and underlines the unique multidisciplinary nature of ISPO World Congresses. �e World Congress brings together all disciplines involved in rehabilitation. Its scienti�c programme draws attention to each of these disciplines, as well as to their collaboration. �e programme includes podia for keynote speakers, symposia, instructional courses, free papers, posters, and case study presentations. It highlights the cutting edge state of the art in prosthetics and orthotics and tries to look beyond current horizons, with the aim to inspire delegates to work together to create a world where individual rehabilitation needs can be met. �e scienti�c programme o�ers a unique platform to interact with experts from around the world, and to learn from di�erent professional perspectives.

It is my pleasure to invite you all to the ISPO 17th World Congress!

Join the ISPO World Congress.Get informed! Get inspired! Get involved!

Dick PlettenburgScienti�c Committee ChairISPO 17th World Congress

At the ISPO 17th World Congress in Kobe, discussions will be held on the application of P&O, rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology with the goal of improving the quality of life for people with disabilities. We are honoured to organise this event as its Japanese host. Of particular interest should be the Robotics Technology and Devices Exhibition, which is held parallel to the Congress. I am con�dent that the 2019 World Congress in Kobe will not only help make Asia’s e�orts and initiatives in the area of P&O, rehabilitation engineering, and assistive technology widely known in Japan but also provide a golden opportunity to call the attention of stakeholders worldwide to the excellent technology and devices developed in Japan.

Kobe is one of Japan’s leading tourist cities and famous for such gourmet delicacies as Kobe beef and sushi. Numerous World Heritage sites are easily accessible nearby. I’m con�dent that this Congress will a�ord you a fantastic opportunity to see Japan �rsthand and gain an insight into its timeless appeal.

I invite you to join us and look forward to welcoming you to Kobe in October 2019.

Invitations

Opening Ceremony

Knud Jansen LectureDavid Constantine

Saturday, 5 October, 09:20-12:00

�e Presidents of ISPO Japan and ISPO International will o�cially open the ISPO 17th World Congress. Various dignitaries will welcome the delegates. Following, the Knud Jansen and IC2A Lectures will be presented.

AT Changed My Life – Practical Solutions and Education Enabling a Lifetime of Human Potential

�e World Health Organization estimates that 1 billion people currently require assistive devices, and that by the year 2050 this number will have doubled.

Since 1991, Motivation, a UK-based organisation that designs and provides low-cost wheelchairs to the developing world, has been working to put wheelchairs on the global agenda of the international development community. �rough a rewarding and positive cooperation with ISPO, Motivation has made enormous strides in the integration of wheelchair and P&O services, has co-created WHO guidelines, and has developed training programmes for wheelchair provision.

Co-founder David Constantine MBE will explain the ups and downs of this journey and the reasons for Motivation’s mission to improve the wheelchair and assistive device industry through design.

David is the co-founder of Motivation, a charity which works to improve the quality of life of people with mobility impairment. His inspiration to design wheelchairs started when he joined IBM and met industrial designers a�er completing his degree in Computing & Accounting/Finance. He went on to do his MA in Industrial Design at the Royal College of Art, where he, alongside Simon Gue, designed an award-winning wheelchair for developing countries.

Because David himself is a wheelchair user, due to a diving accident in 1982 when he was 21, his work understandably has a deep personal signi�cance. In 2010, he was awarded an MBE by the Queen for his services to the disabled.
