Title: 9th Post Graduate Course in Rehabilitation Medicine
Date: October 15 - 17, 2021
Location: Curaçao Renaissance Hotel

Content: this congress in rehabilitation medicine will primarily concentrate on conditions of the musculoskeletal system as well as medical problems that are frequently seen at the rehabilitation clinic and in the primary care setting.

The most common musculoskeletal problems of the extremities that can affect social participation in both adults and children will be presented. The use of orthotics will also be discussed.

Medical problems (such as fatigue, CRPS, cognition and communication disorders, DVT, urinary- and bowel difficulties, residual limb problems after amputation) are frequently seen in various medical conditions such as stroke, limb amputation, spinal cord injury, Parkinson and Multiple Sclerosis and are likely to be encountered in the primary care setting will be presented.

Learning goals: the primary goals are that health care providers and especially family physicians and therapists are able to recognize, treat as well as when referring patients to the rehabilitation clinic concerning the above-mentioned musculoskeletal and medical conditions.

Target groups: the main target group is general practitioners, paramedics, all care providers in the rehabilitation sector, and other interested Health Care workers.
