Restoring Hope, Rebuilding Lives, Reliving Dreams: Transforming Rehabilitation Practice with Exoskeleton
Associate Professor Wee Seng Kwee, PT, PhD -
Senior Principal Physiotherapist, Tan Tock Seng Hospital,
Associate Professor, Singapore Institute of Technology
One of the current trends in neurorehabilitation is the utilization of exoskeletons to augment conventional approaches in the rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders. This lecture aims to provide clinicians with an overview of exoskeletons for upper limb and lower limb rehabilitation to facilitate neuroplasticity; hence, promoting motor recovery in patients and enhancing their quality of life.
- Deepen understanding of neuroplasticity and recovery post neurological insults
- Potential of rehabilitation robotics to optimise patients’ outcomes
- A peek into the future of neurorehabilitation
