Technological developments in neurorehabilitation are rapidly increasing. Students who grow up in the field of rehabilitation should be open to innovation and eager to learn in order to keep up with this rapid development. The purpose of this study was to observing the relationship between physiotherapist candidates' individual innovation levels and lifelong learning tendencies. A relational screening model is used in the study. The study included 7 state universities in Türkiye to assess the relationship between these two dimensions. The demographic form, the "Lifelong Learning Tendency Scale" to determine undergraduate students' lifelong learning tendencies, and the "Individual Innovation Scale" to determine individual innovativeness levels were used in the research. There is a statistically significant relationship to the overall score of the undergraduate students who participated in the research with the total score of innovation, motivation, resilience, lack of learning regulation, absence of curiosity and overall scores of lifelong learning trends in a positive direction (r= 0.44, 0.44, 0.38, 0.48; P<0.05). There are many studies that evaluate innovation and lifelong learning. But, as far as we know, no such work has been done in the rehab field. This study is believed to contribute to literature in terms of innovation against rapid technological developments and the development of new educational and teaching strategies that will enhance lifelong learning.
