Researchers at Lawson are propelled by the people who will benefit from the best in complex rehabilitative science.
One in 10 Canadians has a mobility disability – and we’re laser-focused on discovering how to help people whose lives have been upended by spinal cord injuries, stroke, brain injuries, chronic pain, accidents, falls, trauma or degenerative disease.
Situated at the Gray Centre for Mobility and Activity within St. Joseph’s Health Care London’s Parkwood Institute, the region’s largest provider of rehabilitation and recovery health, we bring our research into practice using all the resources a health institute and teaching hospital can offer together.
We share our innovations with the world – and we share the world’s research too, as we’ve created and curated the biggest database of international research on stroke, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injuries.
Lawson mobility researchers comprise one of the largest and most accomplished teams in the country: including a research chair, established world-class scientists, emerging researchers, dozens of trainees and more than 100 students.
Our work helps people around the world lead active and healthy lives. Read on to discover where it will lead you.
