About our Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

The Executive Board of RiMS has established several Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to advance rehabilitation research and practice for people living with Multiple Sclerosis. Each SIG brings together professionals, researchers, and clinicians to collaborate on specific topics, stimulate evidence-based rehabilitation, and support people with Multiple Sclerosis and their caregivers.

SIGs are guided by appointed chairs and co-chairs, and benefit from the collective expertise of their members. These groups meet annually at the RiMS Conference and are encouraged to hold interim workshops throughout the year. Active SIGs also receive financial support from RiMS to foster their initiatives.
