Workshop 5

NeuroRehab NEXT: Emerging Trends & Innovations

Venue: PMR Dept. OPD Building First Floor

Neurorehabilitation is a dynamic, multidisciplinary process aimed at maximizing function, independence, participation and quality of life in individuals with neurological disorders. With advances in neuroscience, technology and rehabilitation medicine, contemporary neurorehabilitation focuses on early intervention, intensive task-specific training, goal-oriented therapy and patient-centred care.
This clinically oriented and interactive pre-conference workshop will provide participants with a practical approach to assessment, goal setting and evidence-based rehabilitation across common neurological conditions. The workshop will integrate clinical reasoning, functional assessment, therapeutic interventions and modern rehabilitation strategies.

  • Comprehensive neurological and functional assessment for rehabilitation planning
  • Principles of early and intensive neurorehabilitation
  • Goal-oriented and patient-centred rehabilitation planning
  • Neuro Modulation- RTMS
  • Robot assisted gait training
  • HBOT in neuro rehab
  • Botulinum toxin A in spasticity management
  • Evidence-based approaches to stroke rehabilitation
  • Contemporary rehabilitation strategies for spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury
  • Assessment and management of spasticity, dystonia and abnormal movement patterns
  • Practical approach to gait and balance assessment and training
  • Upper-limb rehabilitation and task-specific functional training
  • Role of strengthening, motor relearning, neuroplasticity and repetitive practice
  • Management of activities of daily living, mobility and community participation
  • Role of orthoses, assistive devices and adaptive technologies
  • Principles and clinical applications of robotics, virtual reality and technology-assisted rehabilitation
  • Management of common complications including contractures, pain, falls, pressure injuries and deconditioning
  • Multidisciplinary management involving physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language professionals, psychologists and rehabilitation nurses
  • Interactive case-based discussions, clinical demonstrations and hands-on sessions
  • Practical strategies for developing SMART rehabilitation goals and individualized treatment plans

The workshop will be particularly relevant for PM&R physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, and physicians involved in neurological rehabilitation.

The workshop aims to bridge the gap between neurological diagnosis and meaningful functional recovery, equipping participants with practical skills to assess patients, formulate individualized rehabilitation goals and implement evidence-based interventions across the continuum of care.
Assess • Set Goals • Harness Neuroplasticity • Restore Function • Maximize Independence
