Toronto Rehab is a national leader in rehabilitation science.
Our research is all about maximizing life for people living with the effects of disability, illness and aging.
The work our researchers do benefits people whose lives have been turned upside down by conditions such as stroke, cancer, brain injury heart disease, spinal cord injury, cancer, hip fracture, and Alzheimer’s disease.

We are also preventing injury by making streets, homes and workplaces safer, and heading off illness before it happens.
Toronto Rehab is rapidly becoming the largest rehabilitation research program in the world.
We are home to one of world’s most advanced rehabilitation research environments. iDAPT (Intelligent Design for Adaptation, Participation and Technology) is a network of research facilities that will truly transform rehabilitation science.
