Abstract
Physiotherapy Canada is running a special series on global health, disability, and rehabilitation. But what do we mean by “global health,” and why is it relevant to the practice of all physiotherapists? Our goals in this editorial are to introduce the multifaceted notion of “global health”; to orient readers to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and its companion document, the World Report on Disability (WRD); and, in closing, to situate this special series as a response to the CRPD and WRD's call for more high-quality research to better meet the needs of people with disabilities throughout the world.
