Research within the School is supported with funding from government and non-government agencies including CIHR, NSERC, HSFC, CFI, NSHRF as well as a number of other provincial and local funding agencies.

Clinical outcome measures coupled with advanced technologies answer critical questions in the field of rehabilitation.
