Program 2019
14th Clinical Research Forum in Zürich
Technologies and robotics for therapy
Saturday, 2019 November 2nd, 9.15–16 Uhr
During the last decade, many different technologies varying from apps that can be installed on your mobile phone up to complex and expensive rehabilitation robots have been developed to assist therapists in treating patients. These technologies are intended to serve several purposes, such as alleviating the work of the therapist, providing more movement repetitions to increase the dosage of therapy or engage patients more intensive to improve compliance.
The development of these technologies has evolved exponentially and therapists are nowadays
more and more confronted with them in their daily work. Moreover, patients are more and more aware of new technologies and ask therapists about their opinion. The acceptance of technologies to include them in the therapy program is increasing, but there is still a lot of work to do considering the scientific evidence on the efficacy and effectiveness and for successfully integrating and applying such technologies daily. This year, the Clinical Research Forum has invited three speakers who have
made their experiences with technologies. They will talk about the challenges when integrating technologies, how therapists should use such technologies wisely, and what efforts are being undertaken to prepare therapists to use such technologies within their therapy.
To discuss this subject, three exciting key lectures and two workshops with practical application have been prepared:
