Reconstructive Tetraplegia Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 23-26 April, 2014, Nottwil and Basel, Switzerland
This 3-days course under guidance of Prof. Jan Fridén will provide
state-of-the-art knowledge on surgical reconstruction of upper extremity
functions in persons with spinal cord injuries and tetraplegia. Our aim is to provide a science-based and reliable toolbox of
operative procedures for hand surgeons. For the first time we are also
inviting therapists to attend and learn fundamentals and guidelines in
assessments, training protocols, splinting and, most importantly, share experiences and ideas with each other.
Emphasis is on practical training. Therefore, for surgeons, one day
in the anatomy laboratory is dedicated to hands-on-training of
the most important tendon and nerve transfer procedures. For therapists, the same
day will be focused on practice of splinting and motor relearning.
