Abstract :

In recent years there has been a huge increase in the number of advanced technologies in the market aiming to maximize patient outcomes in neurological rehabilitation. Scientific evidence as well as public demand is also increasing. This presentation will look at the existing evidence on the use of technology in stroke rehabilitation and how this can be integrated into practice to maximize intensity and recovery. It will also use clinical examples and experience to illustrate how these devices can be integrated into the rehabilitation pathway. Examples used will include various devices such as the Erigo, Lokomat, Armeo, Indego Exoskelton and various upper and lower limb FES devices.
