Full-body neuromodulation is an innovative, rapidly developing additive approach to the treatment of spastic movement disorders and pain induced by spasticity. A new medical device is presented to the participants. They learn details about the underlying functional principle and gain insights into the current state of research results in this very rapidly developing field. Experiences from clinical practice complete the presentation.

TMR, TSR, osseointegration and their combination in the surgical treatment of amputees as well as their processing by the attending orthopaedic technician are viewed as innovative methods. Participants learn what’s behind them and gain insights into the possibilities of and experiences with the use of augmented and virtual reality in rehabilitation.

Osseointegration has been practised in orthopaedic technology for more than 30 years. Where do we stand today, and what is the future of osseointegration in orthopaedic technology? Participants learn about implant design, complication rates, component compatibility, pitfalls in surgery and orthopaedics, and innovation prospects.

Short fabrication times, low production costs, sustainability and a high degree of customisation and design freedom are key aspects of 3D printing. Participants learn how to best utilise the advantages of additive manufacturing in paediatric orthopaedic technology for the benefit of growing patients.

Providing fittings for war invalids has been an issue long before the war in Ukraine. Medical professionals and technicians are sometimes faced with new challenges. A holistic, multidisciplinary fitting process encompasses innovative technologies as well as proven medical practices. The goal is to effectively improve participation and the quality of life. Participants learn about the experiences and challenges of medical professionals providing treatment in Ukraine, about organisational, logistical and medical aspects from the perspective of the German armed forces and about the approach in the US to the treatment and rehabilitation of war veterans.
