The I.S.P.O. 19^th World Congress offered a high-quality scientific programme presented by renowned international speakers. At the same time, companies from all continents will present their latest products and innovations in the international exhibition. The World Congress theme “The Art and the Science” brings together two important aspects of prosthetics, orthotics and mobility care. The “Art” can refer to elite craftsmanship and clinical experience that is applied when providing appropriate services for assistive technology consumers. Art can also relate to the personalization and artistic aspects of device design that incorporate the user’s personality and feelings, moving an assistive device beyond just a piece of technology. The “Science” incorporates innovation, evidence, and knowledge translation across the spectrum of prosthetic, orthotic, and mobility services to enable end-users to receive appropriate services at the right time, the right place, and the right cost.
