The 4th 3-day International Congress will be held from April 7-9, 2009 on �Rehabilitation: Mobility, Exercise & Sports�. As always, the Congress will be held in the main building of the VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It is indeed the fourth time since 1991 this congress is organized by the Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, and it stresses the strong and natural link between the fields of rehabilitation and human movement sciences, both in theory and practice!

The theme of the 4th congress underlines the developments taking place in our research since 1991: from a strongly manual wheelchairoriented focus back then, towards the much broader perspective of mobility restoration, active lifestyle, exercise, training and sports in the context of rehabilitation practice today.

The internationally renowned experts in the field of rehabilitation, mobility, exercise and sports Maria Hopman, Walter Frontera, Rory Cooper, Dudley Childress, Yves Vanlandewijck, Mark Nash, Vicky Goosey-Tolfrey, Karin Gerrits and Ivo van Hilvoorde have accepted the invitation to present their views on the current state-of-the-art on different topics in rehabilitation and human movement sciences.

Clinicians and other professionals from rehabilitation, human movement and exercise sciences, as well as researchers in (wheeled) mobility, exercise and adapted sports are invited to submit abstracts and present their work and/or attend and participate in the congress.
