MS Rehabilitation
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 6-7pm ET
Join us for an upcoming webinar with Dr. Sarah Donkers, where we’ll talk about practical ways to support rehabilitation for people living with MS. This session will focus on how small behaviour changes can make a meaningful difference, the challenges that can come with them, and why taking action early matters.
Sponsor:
We’d like to thank Viatris for their generous support of this webinar, and their commitment to advancing education and awareness for Canadians affected by MS.
The Expert:
Dr. Sarah Donkers
Professor, University of Saskatchewan
Dr. Sarah Donkers worked clinically as a physiotherapist (PT) specialized in neurological rehabilitation, and it was her clinical experience with people with MS that led her to research (PhD). She has trained and worked clinically in both Canada and Australia. She has dedicated her career to improving the access to and quality of neurological rehabilitation. The focus of her research is to better understand how we can optimize functional recovery through neurorehabilitation and how we can get such approaches into routine care - bridging neurorehabilitation interventional research with implementation science and health services. Sarah is currently a Professor in the College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan. She teaches the neurology content in the School of Rehabilitation Science. She was honoured as the 2024 recipient of the University’s Outstanding New Researcher Award – selected for her research contributions and impact in neurorehabilitation.
