A1. Workshop: Handvatten voor innovatie in het scholingsprogramma
Het Landelijk Opleidingsplan ‘BETER in Beweging’ is inmiddels in werking gesteld. Om het scholingsprogramma aan te laten sluiten bij het opleidingsplan is modernisering noodzakelijk. De Scholingscommissie en het Concilium zijn bezig met de ontwikkeling hiervan en delen graag hun ervaringen. In deze workshop leggen we uit waarom en hoe het scholingsprogramma gemoderniseerd gaat worden. Na een toelichting op de onderliggende onderwijskundige principes, zullen de contouren van het nieuwe scholingsprogramma worden geschetst. Daarmee is het nieuwe programma echter nog niet af; de exacte invulling moet de komende jaren nog plaatsvinden. Daarom gaan we vervolgens actief aan de slag: hoe kun je zelf landelijk, regionaal of lokaal onderwijs moderniseren? Hoe start je hiermee, en welke tools zijn er al beschikbaar voor blended learning? Ter afsluiting zullen de resultaten van de pilot van de scholingscommissie getoond worden.
Deze interactieve sessie is bedoeld voor alle betrokkenen bij onderwijs van de opleiding tot revalidatiearts.

A2. Workshop: ‘Wheel-I’ 2.0: the Esseda, wheelchair ergometry and performance monitoring
Worldwide an estimated 1% of the population is depending on any form of wheeled mobility. A vast majority will use manually propelled wheelchairs. In the Western world hand rim wheelchairs are by far the preferred mode of manual propulsion due to size, weight, manoeuvrability and transportability, as well as its natural integration into human movement behavior and body scheme.
Science-informed regular wheeled mobility rehabilitation makes a difference with the use of reliable and valid individualized systematic monitoring, testing and training, as well as with ergonomic optimization of vehicle mechanics and wheelchair-user interface. The Esseda is a dual roller computer-controlled and instrumented wheelchair ergometer. Following Wheel-I 2.0, wheelchair ergometry in an individual’s own wheelchair on the Esseda ergometer allows submaximal, maximal aerobic and anaerobic testing and training, while observing physiology and biomechanics with a cardiometabolic cart and simple 2D kinematics. On-screen or head-mounted virtual reality can further support wheelchair motor learning and skill. This will all help maintain the thin balance between power production and power requirements of healthy, safe, efficient and comfortable everyday wheeled mobility and athletics. The workshop will showcase wheelchair ergometry and performance monitoring with the Esseda ergometer in a ‘Wheel-I 2.0’ environment.

Workshop partners: Rick de Klerk, Riemer Vegter, Thomas Rietveld, Rowie Janssen (UMCG-UoG)
Outline session:
- Hand rim wheelchair propulsion is indeed also straining for the upper body, the cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal systems. Consequently, it may lead to upper body overuse problems, especially in shoulders and wrists, and fatigue and discomfort-based inactivity. An inactive lifestyle in turn may lead to cardiometabolic diseases in the long run.
- PhDs Rick de Klerk, Thomas Rietveld and Rowie Janssen will showcase wheelchair ergometry essentials with the dual-roller computer controlled wheelchair ergometer, Esseda.
- Examples of standardized submaximal and peak (an)aerobic exercise testing and their outcomes (processing and presentation) will be highlighted on the Esseda.
- Individualized repeated wheelchair testing over time provides a knowledge base of instruction and advise.
- It can also assist in a further refinement of wheelchair mechanics details as well as the interfacing between user and wheelchair (e.g. seat-height and for-aft position, camber angle, hand rim size and form).
Learning objective(s):
To recognize the importance of wheeled mobility training, monitoring and testing within a knowledgeable context and specific testing environment. Standardised testing involves individualized re-calibration and goal-setting. Power output (W) is the prime outcome measure in wheeled mobility testing and training.
Cochrane is a British international charitable organisation formed to organise medical research findings to facilitate evidence-based choices about health interventions involving health professionals, patients and policy makers. The idea of a Cochrane Rehabilitation (CR) Field was launched in 2016. CR is aimed to ensure that all rehabilitation professionals can apply Evidence Based Clinical Practice, combining the best available evidence as gathered by high quality Cochrane systematic reviews (CSR). Rehabilitation interventions are complex, difficult to standardise, with different components and contents and a lack of existing 'standard care'. As a consequence, RCTs are complex or lacking because they are unfeasible due to some clinical questions and it is difficult or impossible to include alternative designs in CSRs. In CSRs, the evidence of Rehabilitation research is systematically downgraded due to unavoidable characteristics of rehabilitation (e.g. lack of blinding). However, one in 11 CSRs are on rehabilitation interventions. In this workshop, members of CR and a CSR author will help you bringing evidence into practice, give examples of reporting in Rehabilitation research, give examples of alternatives for RCTs and share experiences in writing a CR.

A4. Mini-symposium: Lessons learned from 8 years of innovation in patient care
The rehabilitation medicine sector is an innovative sector. Scientific research reveals a lot of knowledge, new technology is continuously developed to support rehabilitation programs, but how does the patient benefit from innovation in the daily practice?
For 8 years the Ipsen Rehabilitation annual award for innovation within patient care* is awarded within the Netherlands. This price has been rewarded to a project which has the best innovative initiative to improve direct patient care, preferably for a larger group of patients. The innovation needs to be implemented within one year after winning the award. A committee selects the best initiative to improve patient care.
A selection of the award winners will present their results and experiences on implementing patient innovation within rehabilitation. Questions they will answer: what have they done and what are results of their innovations? How did the patient benefit from their innovation? What are their lessons learned when implementing new initiatives? How did they share their innovations? What are (future) plans, with focus on further development and implementation?
*The Ipsen Rehabilitation annual award for innovation within patient care is financially support by Ipsen Farmaceutica B.V. for terms and regulations of this award see: https://revalidatiegeneeskunde.nl/ipsen-revalidatie-jaarprijs

A5. Mini-symposium: The road from strength to daily activities in children with cerebral palsy
In children with Cerebral Palsy muscle weakness is a very important disabling factor in daily functioning. Assessment of upper limb muscle strength should be an essential part of rehabilitation both in clinical reasoning and evaluation. During this workshop new insights regarding muscle strength measurements of the upper limb in children with CP will be presented; we will start with an overview of the assessment methods of muscle strength, strength measurements in fatigability and functional strength. The relevance as well as gaps for clinical reasoning and evaluation of these assessment tools will be presented on the basis of known clinimetric characteristics such as reliability, validity and responsiveness. Next, the development and clinimetric data of an innovative ADL- test and training device will be discussed, followed by the demonstration of the potential of gaming in ADL strength training interventions as an innovative future rehabilitation technology. These innovative possibilities will be presented and discussed in the context of multidisciplinary treatment programs, especially focused on near future home- based ADL strength training in children with CP. Finally, the potential use for other patient groups will be discussed.

Regaining independent gait is often an important goal of a patients’ rehabilitation after stroke. Physiatrists are aware of the high variety among clinical settings in the Netherlands concerning the management of gait problems after stroke. Different views, clinical experience and a lack of scientific evidence on more conservative vs. more invasive treatment options contribute to this variation. As gait labs are emerging throughout the country, the need for a uniform approach in treating gait problems after stroke is growing. In 2018 a working group was formed, consisting of gait experts from different Dutch rehabilitation centres, which aims to reach (inter)national consensus and development of a treatment algorithm.
In this minisymposium we present a framework in which we show that independent gait requires balance control and leg motor control. Both balance control and leg motor control are typically affected after stroke, and require different interventions in time. Balance control requires training, not only in the (sub)acute but also in the chronic phase. In addition, medical-technical interventions become more important in the chronic phase to enable full utilization of residual leg motor control. We subsequently elaborate when, how and where these interventions may take place.

A7. Mini-symposium: Rehabilitation technology: training to assist or assisting to train?
Assistive and therapeutic technology each has its place in rehabilitation. Assistive technology, by definition, is technology through which users can do activities that are impossible or more difficult without the technology. Therapeutic technology, by definition, is technology with which the user practices to improve functioning and, ideally, this improved function is maintained after the use of the technology is discontinued.
Traditionally, therapeutic technology was primarily aimed at stimulating recovery or compensation strategies, while assistive technology took over the functions that were no longer present. Nowadays, however, assist-as-needed principles are increasingly incorporated in both assistive and therapeutic technology. With the emergence of highly-adaptive devices questions rise, such as: Can the use of assist-as-needed technology support patients beyond assistance? Can patients actually use and take optimal advantage of such adaptive technology? We state that we need to consider such technology on another level than the technology itself, and pay particular attention to the user-technology interaction. We then encounter interesting concepts that underline a merge of the two fields: Training by assistance and assistance by training.
In this workshop we will present our hypotheses and results of experimental research regarding assist-as-needed rehabilitation technology. This will be followed by group discussions.
Chair(s): Prof Hans Rietman, MD, PhD
Outline session:
- Introduction symposium by chair Prof. Hans Rietman
- Rehabilitation technology to train, by Gerdienke Prange, PhD
- Rehabilitation technology to assist, by Erik Prinsen, PhD
- Rehabilitation technology: to train or to assist? by Gerdienke Prange and Erik Prinsen
- General discussion and questions, by Prof. Hans Rietman
Learning objective(s):
- First, we want to share our experiences and results from clinical evaluation studies of therapeutic and assistive technology and support our statement that these fields are merging together, with evidence.
- The second goal is to have a group discussion in which participants can reflect on and discuss our statements from a clinical perspective, with a particular aim to discuss how both fields can learn from each other. This will be essential to drive and direct future progress within both fields of technology with attention to the clinical perspective.
