Overview
About the program
Rehabilitation science is the systematic study of promoting, maintaining, or restoring human function, mobility, occupation, and well-being.
Using basic and applied methods, the science is focused on phenomena at the level of the cell, person, family, community, or society to develop and evaluate theories, models, processes, measures, interventions, and policies to prevent, reverse, or minimize impairments, enable activity, and facilitate participation.
By its very nature, rehabilitation science is multidisciplinary. The Rehabilitation Sciences Institute? at the University of Toronto offers graduate programs leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
