SAFE BEDS FOR BRAIN INJURY, COMPLEX NEEDS AND CHALLENGING BEHAVIOURS
USING TECHNOLOGY AND DATA TO IMPROVE RECOGNITION OF STROKE
WEDNESDAY | THEATRE 2 | 14.45
WEDNESDAY | THEATRE 5 | 12.30
Reducing risk by providing a safe and appropriate environment to allow access to treatment for those with brain injury, complex needs, movement disorders, challenging behaviours or lack of awareness, can be difficult. CIPOLD (2013) advocated “reasonable adjustments” so people with complex needs can “effectively access delivery of care”. Amanda will explain how specialist safe beds can provide access to care environments for treatment, rehabilitation or therapeutic work and reduce health inequalities.
In Greater Manchester, anything up to 50% of patients taken to a hyper-acute stroke ward are not actually having a stroke, they are having a stroke mimic. Salford Royal are using data to improve the recognition of stroke by paramedics so to minimise the number of non-stroke patients entering the stroke pathway. This seminar will discuss how Greater Manchester Connected Health Cities are linking historical ambulance data with data from Salford Royal Foundation Trust to identify false positive cases (stroke mimics) and explore how such situations may arise.

TODAY’S RESEARCH DEVICE IS TOMORROW’S THERAPY DEVICE The world of non-invasive brain stimulation is experiencing a massive acceleration. Ehab will be looking at the numerous fields that are attempting to combine NIBS for treating ailments ranging from clinical depression to chronic pain and even ADHD. The number of transcranial current stimulation devices entering the market lately, shows a lot innovation in the field, as well as the potentially ground-breaking integrations with technologies such as EEG, and TMS. New technology enables cutting-edge research and new discoveries are driving the need for better technologies, in time this leads to therapeutic devices available for the medical community and the public.
ANNA WEHLING
RFMS IN NEUROREHABILITATION The presentation aims at showing the use of rFMS (repetitive functional magnetic stimulation) in motor disturbance images which are related to an increase in tone and paresis. In the context of sensorymotor neurorehabilitation, rFMS opens interesting new fields of use in findings as well as for therapy. Video examples will be shown to demonstrate how different stimulation modules can decrease hypertonic muscles and activate paretic muscles or muscle chains. Experience shows that rFMS can be a sensible addition in neurorehabilitation.
