UKRI-IFESS 2010, April 15th and 16th 2010 – Conference Programme announced!
The programme for the 1st Annual Conference of the UK and Ireland National Chapter of IFESS is now available on line at http://www.ukifess.salford.ac.uk/conferenceschedule
The conference has attracted over 40 abstracts from leading FES researchers from the UK, Ireland and further afield. The abstracts cover novel clinical applications of FES, as well as recent advances in FES technology. The first day of the conference will include a series of workshops from leading clinicians on upper limb FES, FES for Multiple Sclerosis and FES in the treatment of spinal cord injury. In addition, we have 2 excellent keynote speakers – Margaret Parton will talk on the challenges of moving technology into the NHS; Dr Shaheen Hamdy will speak on the role of neurostimulation and neuroplasticity in the rehabilitation of motor dysfunction after stroke.
Online registration for the conference is available at http://www.ukifess.salford.ac.uk/ and we encourage booking before the end of February to take advantage of the ‘early bird’ discount.
We look forward to meeting you in Salford in April!
Laurence Kenney (UKRI-IFESS 2010 Conference Chair) on behalf of the Local Organising Committee.
