Participation in people with neurological conditions does not arise from isolated interventions, but from the interdisciplinary collaboration of different professional groups. Orthopaedic treatment and care plays a central yet often underestimated role in this process, not least due to methodological challenges. The workshop conveys the fundamentals and limitations of evidence-based orthopaedic treatment and care and, using practice-oriented examples, presents modern treatment concepts to promote mobility, autonomy and quality of life. In addition, the importance of the social environment - particularly for children after stroke - is highlighted, with a focus on early diagnosis, information, self-help initiatives and stroke support coordinators for children. Participants will gain concise, practice-relevant insights for their everyday professional work.
