SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION
Course Level: Intermediate
This one-day technology symposium will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how rehabilitation technologies can be leveraged to enhance patient outcomes through targeted intensity levels and improved transdisciplinary care. Attendees will explore the integration of advanced rehabilitation technologies into clinical practice, focusing on how these tools can optimize patient engagement, achieve personalized intensity targets, and accelerate recovery. The symposium will also emphasize the role of collaborative care models in enhancing treatment coordination and functional independence. Through expert presentations, interactive discussions and hands on opportunities, participants will gain actionable insights on incorporating evidence-based technologies to improve patient progress and outcomes across diverse patient populations. Specialized tracks available for PT/OT and SLP.
Upon completion of the symposium, participants will be able to:
