From Thursday to Saturday 12th to 14th February 2009, 350 scientists, medical practitioners and therapists met at the 2009 International Neurorehabilitation Symposium (INRS), jointly organized by Swiss medical corporation Hocoma and two EU research projects.
All 350 participants at INRS 2009 unanimously concluded that encouraging research results in the field of technology-assisted neurological rehabilitation pointed the way to an exciting future. Conventional movement disorder therapy (used after stroke or injury, for example) will be augmented in future by intelligent devices, which will help patients to practice movement patterns – and maybe even help them to relearn how to walk or grasp an object. Symposium participants came from approximately 40 different countries and were all agreed on this point. At the Irchel campus of the University of ... > more
