Excellence
I am once
again proud
to be sharing
this annual
report with
faculty,
colleagues,
alumni and
community
supporters
of the School of Rehabilitation
Science (SRS). The report highlights
the SRS’s accomplishments from
January 2013 – June 2014. As a
School, we are delighted with
all that we have accomplished
in this time period. We would
not experience our successes
without the relationships that
we have fostered with the
community and the partnerships
we have created both internal
and external to McMaster.
The SRS has continued to
demonstrate excellence in both
education and research. This is
evident through the numerous
research grants that our faculty
members have received and through
the awards and accomplishments
of both our faculty and students.
The grants awarded to our faculty
have allowed the School to excel in
several key areas including; aging
and wellness, pain and disability,
stroke rehabilitation and childhood
disability among many other
important areas of rehabilitation
research. Through funding gained
through McMaster’s first Forward
With Integrity program, the SRS
was also able to successfully
launch the MAC H2OPE clinic;
a partnership with the YMCA
located in downtown Hamilton
designed to help support the unmet
rehab needs of the surrounding
community while providing a
positive learning opportunity for
students. SRS faculty and students
have been widely recognized over
the past eighteen months with
numerous awards and accolades
and have been featured in the
media. Their accomplishments are
highlighted throughout this report.
SRS faculty and students
have been widely
recognized over the past
eighteen months with
numerous awards and
accolades and have been
featured in the media.
Within our educational programs
we continue to introduce innovation
and expansion. For example our
Rehabilitation Science program
introduced a new specialization
within the MSc Course base
option; the Advanced Orthopaedic
Musculoskeletal / Manipulative
Physical Therapy stream (OMPT),
which is now available to students.
Our professional programs
in Occupational Therapy and
Physiotherapy continue to attract
the most applicants in Ontario.
Through our collaborations with the
DeGroote School of Business, our
Master of Health Management is
thriving and we celebrated the first
graduating class in May of 2013.
In 2013 the SRS welcomed
two new physiotherapy faculty
members. Dr. Ada Tang came
to the SRS from the University
of British Columbia and has
already achieved a significant
accomplishment within her
appointment having received a
Heart and Stroke Clinician-Scientist
Career Award. Dr. Michelle Kho is
“one of our own” having completed
her physiotherapy training and
her PhD at McMaster. We are
delighted that Dr. Kho is the first
Canada Research Chair within
the SRS. We also celebrated the
retirement of two important, longstanding contributors to the SRS.
Dr. Mary Law retired from the SRS
as of June 30, 2014, leaving an
enormous legacy within the SRS,
McMaster and the broader OT
community (read more on p. 16).
Nancy Plews, Assistant Clinical
Professor and SRS Administrator
also retired in September 2013. We
thank both for their commitment
and contributions to the SRS and
the role they played in shaping
the School into what it is today.
I invite you to continue reading
this annual report where you will
find more information on our School’s
successes and noteworthy items.

WITHIN OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WE CONTINUE TO INTRODUCE
INNOVATION AND EXPANSION.
Patty Solomon
Associate Dean & Director
Physiotherapy
The SRS Physiotherapy (PT)
Program prepares students with the
knowledge, skills and professional
behaviours required to practice as
autonomous, entry-level clinicians.
With an emphasis on problem-based,
small group and self-directed learning,
the Program integrates academic and
clinical educational experiences over
25 months. In November 2013, 65
students graduated, ready to shine
as PT Program graduates applying
their knowledge and skills in a
variety of roles and diverse practice
environments.
The PT faculty continue
to demonstrate national and
international leadership through
their publications, knowledge
translation activities, grants, awards,
and accolades. There are many
examples, including: Joy MacDermid
awarded a CIHR Research Chair
in Gender, Work and Health; Dr.
Monica Maly, received the Ontario
Physiotherapy Association’s (OPA)
Award for Research; and one of the
SRS’s newest PT faculty members,
Dr. Ada Tang, was the recipient
of a Heart and Stroke Foundation
Clinician-Scientist award, as well as
an Ontario Ministry of Innovation
and Research early researcher award
for her work in stroke rehabilitation.
The calibre of McMaster
physiotherapy students also shone
in 2013/2014. PT students took the
Physiotherapy Foundation of Canada
Fun Run Student Challenge prize,
raising the most dollars among PT
schools competing, with Class of
2014 student Sarah Luxon spear-
heading the team. There was strong
representation of current students
and past graduates at the OPA and
Canadian Physiotherapy Association
(CPA) annual meetings. This
included students Samantha Austin,
Emily LeBlanc, and Patrick Milne,
whose REBP project placed second
in the 2014 Ann Collins Whitmore
Student Competition; and, Class of

OF AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING.” – David Evans
2014 student, Anik Sarkar, winning
CPA Congress’ inaugural “2 minutes,
2 slides” competition.
The program has been focusing
on curriculum renewal, as well as
Program accreditation, with the onsite
review scheduled for November 2014.
The strength, commitment and caliber
of McMaster`s faculty, staff and clinical
instructors is evident.
David Evans, MSc PT class of 2014
Following
his graduation
from McMaster’s
Physiotherapy
(PT) program,
David Evans is
looking forward
to practicing in the areas of
orthopedics and sports in Halifax,
NS.
He attributes his confidence in
taking this major career step to
skills he acquired in the two year
Master’s program, which is rooted
in problem-based and small group
learning. The program fosters
collaboration among students and
combines academic and clinical
learning.
“What is impressive about
McMaster’s PT program is the
strength of and the opportunity
for self-directed learning,” said
Evans. “The intensity of research
generated by physiotherapy
faculty and clinicians who are
recognized internationally for
applying evidence-based practice
in physiotherapy is equally as
inspiring.”
Evans also appreciated the
opportunities offered outside
the classroom where he gained
complementary skills through a
wide range of activities including
serving as a multiple-mini
interviewer for the program’s
admissions day and as the
programs lab assistant.
Occupational Therapy
The SRS Occupational Therapy
(OT) program prepares students
for a career in OT by educating
students to acquire a comprehensive
knowledge base, building strong
clinical skills and developing
appropriate professional behaviours
required of occupational therapists
today. The two year professional
Masters of Science program is
divided between in-course learning
and practical clinical experience
through five terms of university
study and four complementary
clinical education placements. In
November 2013, the OT program
graduated 62 students with the
knowledge and skills required to
practice as successful therapists in
communities across the country.
The OT program continues to
boast a strong faculty; recognized
for their contribution and
leadership within their respective
fields and who remain at the
forefront of the discipline. This
strength was exemplified in
2013/2014 with Dr Joyce Tryssenaar
receiving the Barbara Sexton
Lectureship at Western University’s
School of Occupational Therapy
and Dr Mary Law receiving the
Lifetime Membership Award
from the Canadian Association of
Occupational Therapists. Beyond
the receipt of honours and awards,
the OT faculty had another year of
success with numerous research
“THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS ME TO DRIVE FORWARD WITH MY PASSION.”
– Lindsay Blackman
grants and publications and were
also highlighted in media outlets
such as CBC news, the Montreal
Gazette, and the Windsor Star.
The OT curriculum was revised
starting in 2012 and has become more
firmly rooted with positive impacts.
The new program structure has made
it easier to work with community
partners (and vice versa) to meet
the practica placement demands of
the clinical education component
of the program. The focus has
now shifted to accreditation (2016)
to ensure that all of the components
are in place to demonstrate the
exemplary education offered in the
Occupational Therapy Program at
McMaster.
Lindsay Blackman, MSc OT class of 2014
Second-year
Occupational
Therapy (OT)
student Lindsay
Blackman finds
McMaster University’s
OT program is
an excellent complement to her
passion for promoting opportunities
for people with disabilities and
marginalized groups, and her desire
to challenge the status quo.
“This program allows me to drive
forward with my passion,” she said.
Blackman, 24, who holds a
degree in labour studies from
McMaster, finds similarities between
her studies in the two programs.
“Both programs speak to advocacy
and allowing individuals access to
needed tools and knowledge that
will allow them to move forward in
their life in a meaningful way. Both
programs speak to the individual
and environmental influences that
impact day to day life,” she said.
While searching for graduate
programs across multiple
universities to determine the
program most compatible with her
interests and learning style, she
discovered McMaster’s OT program
grounded in self-directed/problembased learning.
“I really felt I knew that this was
the place for me,” she said. “After
discovering this program, I further
read into the role of an occupational
therapist, talked to one of my friends
who is an OT in mental health, and
realized quickly that the program, and a
career in OT, was a great fit for me.”
Rehabilitation Science
Thesis and Course Based Programs
The SRS offers three graduate
options in Rehabilitation Science.
The graduate program focuses on
clinically relevant research that
advances rehabilitation particularly
in the areas of childhood
disability and participation;
neuromusculoskeletal function
and mobility; functional health
with aging and chronic disease;
work, ability, and participation;
Orthopedics Manipulative Physical
Therapy (OMPT); and, best practice
and knowledge translation. The
three options include a Master of
Science Course-based, a Master of
Science Thesis-based, and a PhD.
In the 2013-2014 academic year,
there were 116 students enrolled in
the program.
This year, the RS program
introduced the new Master’s Coursebased, Advanced Orthopaedic
Manipulative Physical Therapy
stream (OMPT). This stream
develops a specialization standard
in OMPT practice. The objective of
this stream is to advance scientific
knowledge, clinical reasoning
application, and clinical and
research skills development
with a broad appreciation
of the concepts of
clinical measurement and integrated
evidence-based practice in OMPT.
The RS Graduate Program
successfully completed its
Institutional Quality Assessment
Process this academic year.
External reviewers were
complementary and noted the
excellence of the curriculum,
supervisors, trainees and the
positive outcomes for our
graduates.
In 2014, the calibre of the faculty
involved in the program was
acknowledged through a published
analysis by Dr Joy MacDermid
demonstrating the impact of OT
and PT faculty from departments
across Canada. In this analysis
McMaster faculty had the highest
productivity and the three most
productive PT/OT faculty members
in Canada were from McMaster, as
indicated by the H-index.
Student excellence was
acknowledged as a number of our
students received highly competitive
scholarships and research awards,
such as the Vanier Canada
Graduate Scholarship; Canadian
Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)
Doctoral Scholarship; CIHR JuMP
Training Grant; Ontario Graduate
Scholarship; Ontario Women’s
Health Scholarship; and, Faculty
of Health Science Awards.
“THE RS PROGRAM HAS BROADENED MY LOOK AT PHYSIOTHERAPY,
REHABILITATION, PAIN AND DISABILITY THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH
COLLEAGUES IN DIVERSE FIELDS.” – Jordan Miller
Jordan Miller, RS PhD candidate
A registered
physiotherapist
working with
people with
musculoskeletal
injuries, Jordan
Miller questioned
whether or not something more
could be done to help people with
persistent pain and prevent patients
from progressing from acute to
chronic pain.
“Through pursuing my PhD
with the Rehabilitation Science
(RS) Graduate program, I have
started to fill in knowledge gaps
and have learned how to best
approach answering the clinical
questions I was asking,” he said.
“Going through the RS program
has also broadened my look at
physiotherapy, rehabilitation, pain
and disability through collaboration
with colleagues in diverse fields.”
Miller said the RS Program has
also fostered his passion for clinical
research, confirming for him his
decision to switch career paths
from clinician to academic. “The
has given me the knowledge, skills
and experiences needed to succeed
as an independent scientist,” he
said. “I have had the opportunity to
gain strong theoretical foundations,
an understanding of research
methodology, grantsmanship
skills, and practical experience
conducting research, writing and
teaching.”
Master of Health
Management
Offered in partnership between
the DeGroote School of Business
and the School of Rehabilitation
Science, the Master of Health
Management (MHM) program
prepares regulated healthcare
professionals to meet the
demands of a career in health
management. This part-time
distance education degree utilizes
the latest asynchronous, on-line
teaching techniques with two short,
intensive, onsite residency periods
to deliver the program. Experts with
experience in academia, industry
and government teach students
the skills needed to solve complex
healthcare problems.
As of November 2013, enrollment
in the program grew to 110 bright
and highly motivated students
coming from diverse healthcare
professions and extending coast
to coast. The program had the
privilege of graduating a total of
39 students during this time, 13
from the Cohort of 2013 and 26
from the Cohort of 2014. Student
excellence was recognized by
the MHM program with the
presentation of the Award of
Excellence, the Scholarly Paper
Award, and the Community
Contribution Award at the yearly
June convocation reception. Many
students also earned the Certified
Health Executive designation, while
working on their degree, through an
alliance between the MHM program
and the Canadian College of Health
Leaders.
The residency periods were
again a great success for both the
program and the students. These
residencies enable students to
learn from local health executives;
provide students the chance
to experience a face-to-face
connection with their peers; and
give the students an opportunity to
expand their professional network.
The periods also allow students
to meet with faculty who could
potentially serve as their advisor
“THE ONLINE, PART-TIME METHOD ALLOWED ME THE OPPORTUNITY
TO STUDY AND LEARN IN A WAY THAT WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE
AVAILABLE TO ME, GIVEN MY GEOGRAPHY AND FAMILY COMMITMENTS.”
– Amy Riske
in conjunction with the program’s
scholarly paper component. Recent
residency keynote speakers have
included Donna Cripps, the Chief
Executive Officer of the Hamilton
Niagara Haldimand Brant Local
Health Integration Network; Brenda
Flaherty, Executive Vice-President
for Hamilton Health Sciences and;
Dr. Samantha Nutt, Founder and
Executive Director of WarChild.
In June of 2014, the program
bid farewell to one of the MHM’s
Co-Directors, Dr. Mary Law. It was
through Mary’s creative vision
that led to the launch of MHM
and her steadfast leadership that
has helped shape MHM into the
successful program it is today.
Dr. Patty Solomon was appointed
to the Co-Director position from
the SRS. As Associate Dean of the
SRS, Dr. Solomon brings enormous
experience and knowledge to the
role and enthusiasm for helping
to lead the MHM through its next
chapter.
Amy Riske, MHM student, class of 2014
A five-week locum
in Inuvik, Northwest
Territories turned
into 15 years and
counting for Amy
Riske, program
coordinator at
the Child Development Centre in
Whitehorse, Yukon.
It’s 5,396 kilometres from
Whitehorse to Hamilton, Ontario
but that didn’t deter Amy Riske from
enrolling in McMaster University’s
Master of Health Management
Program, a partnership between the
DeGroote School of Business and
the School of Rehabilitation Science
which offers an on-line, part-time
program for business-focused health
professionals.
“The MHM program helped me
apply evidence-based practice
beyond individual clients to
programs and policies,” Riske said.
“The online, part-time method
allowed me the opportunity to
study and learn in a way that
would not otherwise be available
to me, given my geography and
family commitments.”
She said the learning and
experiences of the past three years
in the MHM program helped in
both her day-to-day work and
changed the way she thinks about
her future career goals.

A caring heart
“I really love
what I do and
it has been a
privilege to
do it and be
recognized.”
– Mary Law
Mary Law
Professor Emeritus, SRS, McMaster University
Throughout her career as
researcher, teacher and clinician,
Mary Law has been lauded for the
difference her caring heart has
made to the lives of children with
disabilities and their families.
“I really love what I do and it
has been a privilege to do it and
be recognized,” said Law who
retired in June, 2014 as Professor
in McMaster University’s School
of Rehabilitation Science.
An occupational therapist,
she served as Associate Dean
and Director of the School of
Rehabilitation Science, held the
John and Margaret Lillie Chair in
Childhood Disability Research
and was the Co-Director of the
MHM program and CanChild.
During Law`s tenure the School
of Rehabilitation Science grew
significantly both nationally and
internationally.
With developmental pediatrician
Dr. Peter Rosenbaum, she
founded CanChild, a research
and educational centre that is
a world leader and premium
source for childhood disability
information. After successfully
winning a provincial government
competition, the two pioneers
created a network linking
McMaster researchers with
those in children’s rehabilitation
centres throughout Ontario.
“The focus is on research that
is meaningful to children, their
families and service providers,”
she said.
Twenty-five years later, CanChild
is still going strong, growing into a
world-wide network. “We are doing
a lot of knowledge translation
through our website to which
we get 15,000 visitors a month,”
Law said.
In May, The Canadian
Association of Occupational
Therapists presented Law with its
Lifetime Membership Award.
Her instincts on
uncovering better
ways to improve the
lives of children with
disabilities continue to
be as ground-breaking
as ever.
Law is the recipient of several
dozen awards, including her
selection as keynote speaker
at the World Federation of
Occupational Therapists Congress
in Santiago, Chile in 2012 and
the Whittaker memorial Cerebral
Palsy Award presented to her in
1999 by the Ontario Association of
Children’s Rehabilitation Services
for outstanding achievement
in rehabilitation research and
development for children with
cerebral palsy.
Years ago, as a young
student, Law randomly selected
occupational therapy as a career
never expecting it would lead to
an international career in which
she served as an expert consultant
to institutions as far away as South
Africa, the Netherlands, Israel and
Australia.
Her prolific lifetime publications
include 14 books, 66 chapters in
books, 208 papers in refereed
journals, 67 papers in refereed
conference proceedings, 50
technical reports and 285 abstracts
and/or papers.
Her instincts on uncovering
better ways to improve the lives of
children with disabilities continues
to be as ground-breaking as ever.
“We have just finished an
intervention study looking at how
changes in the environment within
a community can help youth
with disabilities participate in
community activities,” she said.
The environment of this
research, and how it can be altered
is the focus so that children with
disabilities can participate in
everything from baseball and riding
a bike to hanging out with friends.
Reflecting on her 24 years at
McMaster, Law said she appreciates
the collaboration that has been
fostered within the School, Faculty,
and across the University and the
opportunity to work with great
teams of people. “I’m of the belief
that no one individual can make
a difference,” she said. “It’s by
working together with excellent
people that you really can do
well.”
MAC H OPE
2
Making an impact in our community
Student physiotherapists and
occupational therapists are gaining
excellent educational training and
real-world skills in the unique
MAC H2OPE clinic in downtown
Hamilton, a partnership between
the School of Rehabilitation Science
and Hamilton’s YMCA. The clinic
was initially developed as part of a
proposal for McMaster University’s
Forward with Integrity Fund (FWI).
This fund was established as a
result of President Patrick Deane’s
FWI initiative, which encourages
students to be involved in the
broader Hamilton and global
community. MAC H2OPE is also a
part of Live Well – a comprehensive
group of exercise and education
programs made possible through
a partnership between the YMCA
of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford,
McMaster University and Hamilton
Health Sciences.
Under the supervision of
registered therapists, students
assess and treat individuals
who have a wide range of
conditions, such as acute or
chronic neurological challenges
and musculoskeletal injuries,
and who do not have access
to publicly funded OT or PT
services, or extended health
insurance coverage. At MAC H2OPE
students gain valuable clinical and
organizational experience while
enabling improved quality of life
for people who may be at risk in
health and wellbeing.
For both students and clients,
MAC H2OPE has been an
overwhelming success. Sarah
Wojkowski and Lorie Shimmell,
Directors of Clinical Education
for the PT and OT programs
respectfully, have indicated that
the clinic has had a “phenomenal
response” from the community.
There continues to be on-going
demand for services, with a
growing waiting list of over 60
people. Current students and
PT/OT graduates, also praise
the deeper insights into patient
care they are gaining from
their experiences at the clinic.
Meaghan Barker, a class of 2015
Physiotherapy student noted that
she was able to “… see different
aspects of physiotherapy that I
hadn’t personally experienced
before.” Meaghan was at the clinic
2 days per week and combined
her placement at MAC H2OPE with
research at a private clinic.
Jessica Campbell, a registered
Occupational Therapist and a
2013 graduate from the MSc(OT)
program, completed her last
clinical rotation at MAC H2OPE.
She reflected on her time at MAC
H2OPE by indicating, “the clinic
gave me the opportunity to put my
skills into practice before entering
the workplace,” she said. “It gave
me confidence and brought all my
skills together.”
AT MAC H2OPE STUDENTS GAIN VALUABLE CLINICAL AND
ORGANIZATIONAL EXPERIENCE WHILE ENABLING IMPROVED QUALITY OF
LIFE FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY BE AT RISK IN HEALTH AND WELLBEING.

“WE WANT TO BE A PART OF HELPING OTHER FAMILIES.” INDEED, THAT’S
WHAT CANCHILD IS ULTIMATELY ALL ABOUT.” – Christine Chambers
Changing the lives of families for 25 years
“The centre has
developed major
research programs in
the field of childhood
disability research. It
has established a worldrenowned knowledge
translation and
exchange program. It
has fostered a reputation
for recruiting the
brightest investigators
and carefully training
the next generation of
outstanding scholars,
promoting innovation
and inspiring critical
thinking about these
issues along the way.”
–P
atrick Deane, President
McMaster University
CanChild is an internationallyrenowned research centre located
within the School of Rehabilitation
Science in partnership with the
Department of Pediatrics. CanChild
is comprised of a multi-disciplinary
team of researchers and educators
who collaborate to improve the
life quality of children and youth
with disabilities and their families.
Investigators at CanChild are world
leaders in generating innovative
knowledge with respect to
childhood disability.
On Monday, June 23, 2014
members of CanChild, media,
parents, and children gathered at
McMaster to celebrate the first 25
years of the centre. In attendance
were the two founders, Drs. Peter
Rosenbaum and Mary Law, who
were able to reflect on how far
CanChild has come. Dr. Law notes
that, “25 years ago we didn’t have
reliable and valid ways to measure
the outcomes of our services. [As
well] our interventions really only
focused on ways of changing
the child.” She credits the work
of CanChild as having taken a
leading role in how therapies are
developed and evaluated, and
also in reconsidering the kinds of
outcomes that services can provide.
While Rosenbaum admits
that they had no idea that the
organization would last twenty-
five years, the numbers offered at
the celebration told an impressive
story. During its life, CanChild has
received more than $40 million in
research grants. All of it received
within an area of research that can
easily go overlooked.
Dr. Patrick Deane, the president
of McMaster University, noted that
“CanChild has the pleasure of
reflecting on its accomplishments,
which are extraordinary. The
centre has developed major
research programs in the field of
childhood disability research. It
has established a world-renowned
knowledge translation and
exchange program. It has fostered
a reputation for recruiting the
brightest investigators and carefully
training the next generation of
outstanding scholars, promoting
innovation and inspiring critical
thinking about these issues along
the way.”
The reflections of parents and
children from the anniversary
celebration supplemented the
accomplishments of CanChild.
“No one wants to go through this
alone,” says Christine Chambers,
mother of Kyle Chambers, about
her family’s involvement in research
and knowledge translation. “We
want to be a part of helping other
families.” Indeed, that’s what
CanChild is ultimately all about.
