Revolutionary Therapies for People with SCI
ONWARD Medical NV CEO, Dave Marver, will deliver a lecture on the company’s efforts to develop and commercialize therapies to restore movement and function after spinal cord injury (SCI). His talk will cover use of the company’s ARC-IM Therapy to restore movement in conjunction with an implanted brain-computer interface (BCI). It will also cover therapies that are expected to reach the clinic in the near term, such as the company’s ARC-EX Therapy which delivers transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation to restore upper extremity strength and function, and the company’s standalone ARC-IM Therapy which is being evaluated for its ability to address blood pressure dysregulation after SCI. Mr. Marver will discuss the company’s ability to scale and bring these novel therapies into the clinic while also discussing the challenges associated with building an enterprise that is focused on therapies for SCI.

(R)Evolutie? Blended care in cognitieve revalidatie!
En toen was er opeens een pandemie! Nood brak wetten. Een face-2-face revalidatieprogramma werd omgebouwd naar een blended-care programma. Zoals bij geen enkele (r)evolutie ging dat zonder slag of stoot. Hoe is het 3 jaar later? Heeft er evolutie plaatsgevonden? Hoe zijn de uitkomsten van de behandeling in vergelijking met daarvoor? Wat vinden de revalidanten ervan? Al deze vraagstukken komen voorbij in een presentatie over het behandelprogramma Brein in Beweging.
Peter Smits, klinisch psycholoog, is verbonden aan het behandelprogramma Brein in Beweging van revalidatiecentrum de Sint Maartenskliniek. Binnen dit poliklinische behandelprogramma worden mensen met hersenletsel gerevalideerd. Hij onderzoekt momenteel de behandeleffecten hiervan in het kader van wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Eerder was hij redacteur van de handboeken Neuropsychotherapie en Revalidatiepsychologie.
