Six reputable societies were part of RehabWeek 2019, namely The International Functional Electrical Stimulation Society (IFESS), The International Consortium on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), The International Industry Society in Advanced Rehabilitation Technology (IISART), The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM), The Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA), and The International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO).
