Virtualware will be exhibiting the new version of VirtualRehab, at the 5th Annual Queen Square Upper and Limb Neurorehabilitation Course taking place in London between 29th and 30th of June.
The theme of the course “treating patients with upper limb deficit: integrating research into practice” is aimed at providing an overview of current research looking at treatment and rehabilitation options for the neurological patient with upper limb deficit. It aims to assist in the practical real-life translation of scientific evidence into clinical practice and asks – what is it that makes an upper limb therapy effective? Delegates will have the opportunity to trial novel devices and robotic technology.
Course lecturers are from the UCL Institute of Neurology, the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, and other renowned institutes in upper limb rehabilitation in neurological patients.
