Power, privilege and disadvantage in physiotherapy - who decides? This is the question that was considered in a focused symposium chaired by John Hammond, from United Kingdom. He was joined by speakers Maria-Louisa Busuttil, from Malta, Anupa Pathak, from Nepal, and Jenny Setchell from Australia. This interactive symposium began with a brief introduction by the chair to outline the basic tenets of power, privilege and disadvantage, and introduce some frameworks for critical reflection and how these relate to physiotherapy. Each speaker was then given the opportunity to explore a personal example from within their own physiotherapy contexts and policy.

A focused symposium was held which looked at implementing virtual environments and serious games in neurological physiotherapy practice. Chaired by Judith Deutsch, the session presented the most current findings on use of virtual environments (VEs) and serious games for the rehabilitation of balance, mobility and fitness for persons with neurological conditions. Alongside this it provided concrete examples and strategies for implementing VEs and serious games in physiotherapy practice. Also held was a seminar on digital health technologies in physiotherapy: possibilities, challenges and experiences. Chaired by Cindy Veenhof, the panel presented case examples involving specific technologies, which in the end, resulted in better health outcomes for the patients.
