Barrow Neuro-Rehabilitation Robotics and Technology Symposium

Course Description

This interdisciplinary symposium will focus on the current evidence based practice and research for the use of robotics and technology in therapy. The symposium will provide an educational opportunity for rehabilitation professionals focusing on rehabilitative treatment interventions with robotics and technology. The therapists will have opportunities to trial the devices with self-directed access in a workshop format.

Course Learning Objectives

  • The participants will be able to state 3 robotics or technologies that are used for ambulation/gait training and are available and approved for patient use by the FDA for patient use
  • The participants will be able to state 3 robotics or technologies for upper extremity rehab that are available and approved for patient use by the FDA
  • The participants will be able to state 2 strategies on how to use a robotic or therapeutic device off label
  • The participants will state a future way to control robotics/technology for therapy
