Spasticity
Chairs:
Anthony Ward (UK), Thierry Lejeune (Belgium)
Aim of the session:
Spasticity after stroke – A session
dedicated to the trainees
We would present the conclusions of a
European Working Group.
The programme will follow the algorithm designed by this group.
Each talk will focus on one branch of
the decision tree.

People with amputation and prosthetics
Chair:
Franco Franchignoni (Italy)
Aim of the session:
Assessment
and treatment in upper and lower limb amputations and prosthetics. Outcome measures for people with limb amputation and prosthesis. Manufacturing techniques in
prosthetics (socket design, prosthetic knees and feet, new materials, etc.).
Prosthetics in childhood and in elderly. Gait in people with lower limb
amputations. Body image and quality of life in people with limb prosthesis.

Learning and neuroplasticity
Chair: Jörgen
Borg (Sweden)
Aim of the session:
Learning
and relearning are key issues in most rehabilitation programs. A number of new
methods have enabled dramatically new insights into the adaptive and
maladaptive processes in the brain in response to new experiences such as ordinary learning, relearning after injuries or pain.
The
aim with this session is to highlight some of the recent
achievements, which have clinical significance for the
rehabilitation/relearning process in subjects with speech motor, executive and emotional disorders.

Management of chronic pain
Chair:
Bengt Sjölund (Sweden)
Aim of the session:
size=3
face=Arial>Traditionally,
physical medicine modalities have constituted the main treatment methods for PRM physicians when encountering patients in chronic musculoskeletal pain. Recently, our
understanding of some of these methods has increased considerably, both with
respect to biological mechanisms and effectiveness. Professor Han has long been the international authority on acupuncture mechanisms and neuropeptides but
has expanded his research into various form of electro-stimulation, also in
man. By introducing cognitive psychology into pain assessment and management,
Prof. Turk has contributed significantly to both the understanding and the
rehabilitation of persons with chronic pain. From an ICF perspective, physical
medicine methods and cognitive therapy can be integrated into an
interdisciplinary rehabilitation process as will be delineated by professor Sjölund.

with total hip or knee prosthesis. Meniscal and ligamentary lesions in elderly
people. Influence of physical activities in osteoporosis.

Aim of the session:
Description:
This session will provide a comprehensive overview regarding the development of
international standards including ICF Core Sets and ICF Core Measures and the
application of the ICF in service management, practice and in European
countries, ICF-based rehabilitation management and the WHO strategic plan in
relation to functioning, disability and rehabilitation.
