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.

Congress sessions focus on the impact of technology on physiotherapy Two sessions focused on the impact of technology in physiotherapy during the final day of congress. 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. These were used to create more awareness of the wide range of possibilities in this field and to discuss the implementation of digital health technologies in physiotherapy practice.

What does Long Covid mean for physiotherapists? The World Health Organization states that globally there have been over 134 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and nearly 3 million deaths. Global data currently focuses on mortality, cases and vaccination rates. At present there is no global data on morbidity or disability as a result of Long Covid. However, the latest estimates suggest that up to one in seven patients with COVID-19 will have ongoing symptoms for 12 weeks or more.  The impact of Long Covid and what it means for physiotherapists was the focus of a discussion session chaired by congress programme committee members Darren Brown, from United Kingdom, and Remla Shirima, from Tanzania.
