The symposium focussed on technologies to support the rehabilitation of walking ability. Current scientific studies prove the high effectiveness of these interventions, especially in the setting of device-supported circuit training. This application option is becoming increasingly important, not least due to the current framework conditions in healthcare.
Jakob Tiebel, expert for clinical applications in the field of neurorehabilitation, emphasised in his presentation: „Rehabilitation doesn´t take place on a greenfield site. We have to harmonise the current evidence and effective therapies with the real framework conditions and limited resources. In view of rising patient numbers and an increasing shortage of skilled labour, rehabilitation technologies, if used in a targeted manner, offer the opportunity to effectively and efficiently meet the growing demand for therapies despite scarce resources."
In addition to an evidence update, the specialist presentations offered many practice-orientated insights. Several experts presented the concepts of their locations in Germany, including Sarah Ruppert from the DianaKlinik Bad Bevensen, Lena Flöte from the MEDICLIN Specialist clinic Rhein/Ruhr in Essen-Kettwig and Özge Demirezen, owner of the Practice for physiotherapy Fortschritt in Erlangen. All of the facilities mentioned have been extremely innovative for years and have developed impressive treatment concepts using the latest THERA-Trainer technologies.
The participants also had the opportunity to experience the Bad Rodach therapy world of gait rehabilitation live. This experience was a source of inspiration for many and led to lively discussions about the feasibility of implementing such innovative concepts in their own facilities. The Medical Park's comprehensive gait therapy concept was particularly impressive, offering participants practical insights and the opportunity to try it out.
The interdisciplinary exchange between the specialists proved to be extremely enriching and promoted the transfer of knowledge between different fields. This was made possible in particular by the close integration of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, which revealed new perspectives and approaches for daily therapeutic practice.
The Neurorehabilitation Masterclass 2024 was a complete success and left a lasting impression on everyone involved. THERA-Trainer would like to thank all participants and organisers for their commitment and is already looking forward to future events.
