Prof. Negrini at ACRM in Chicago

Prof. Stefano Negrini, scientific director of Isico as well as director of the Cochrane Rehabilitation Field, will be leading a symposium entitled “Cochrane Rehabilitation, the new international body to spread and strengthen evidence in rehabilitation medicine” and the workshop Evidence Based Multidisciplinary Approach to Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis at the 96th Annual American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine in Chicago, running from 5th  to 8th November.

The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) is an association that was created to improve the lives of individuals with disabling conditions by supporting research that promotes health, independence, productivity, and quality of life, and by meeting the needs of rehabilitation clinicians and people with disabilities. Given that this event is the world’s largest rehabilitation conference, Prof. Negrini’s participation is an important milestone for Isico, and may be seen as recognition of the significant role that he himself plays within the Cochrane network. As far as the workshop presenters of this introductory course will include 4 professions (MD, PT, CPO, PhD/PA-C), and 3 SOSORT past presidents, one of them is prof. Negrini. Topics: what AIS is, evaluation, current evidence, bracing and exercises schools, clinical cases: medical, physiotherapeutic and orthotic approach, Q&A.
