We are pleased to share the preliminary programme of the upcoming SIG Mobility in-between meeting which will take place inBodø, Norway, on 11-12 September 2026.

The event, entitled “Advanced clinical reasoning for optimizing function, mobility and participation in personalized MS Rehabilitation”, will be hosted by Ellen Christin Arntzen, Marianne Sivertsen, Hanne Fikke and Britt Normann at Nord University and Nordland Hospital Trust, in collaboration with user representatives.

The programme offers an exciting combination of high-level scientific presentations, free contributions from participants, and practical workshops, both outdoors and in laboratory settings. In addition, this year we have planned a dedicated international session, which will be held in hybrid format in collaboration with the International Symposium on Gait and Balance in MS. We very much look forward to this joint initiative.
