Rehabilitation can follow many paths. After an amputation, people must learn to live not only with the physical limitation but also with a new self-image. You will learn how peers with similar experiences, as well as new technologies, can support them in this process.

Cross-disciplinary knowledge, clear awareness of risks, and the ability to combine technology with clinical judgement are essential for effective treatment of diabetic foot syndrome. You will gain insights into the wide range of available treatment options, including wound management and early detection of complications. Pressure measurement is also covered as a tool for assessment, documentation and evaluation of treatment goals. You will acquire practical knowledge, discover available systems, and learn how to integrate measurement data meaningfully into patient treatment.

Good prosthetic treatment and successful rehabilitation require skilled surgical management. You will learn about the necessary surgical prerequisites for different underlying causes and discover how prosthetists and orthotists use this knowledge to assess stump-related issues.

Interdisciplinary treatment and care succeeds where legal frameworks are clear, responsibilities are well defined, and competencies are sensibly coordinated. You will learn how collaboration can be implemented securely from a legal standpoint and which structures are necessary to integrate all professional groups effectively – enabling connected treatment and care that provides real added value for both patients and professionals.

The situation in Europe makes it necessary to address a potential crisis scenario and orthopaedic treatment and care for those affected by war. You will gain insights into the findings of colleagues and their approaches to solutions: current perspectives on acute treatment and the experiences of care teams will be presented, as well as the possibilities and limitations of rehabilitation and orthopaedic treatment.

In der Notaufnahme schnell eine Orthese verordnen – dabei gibt es oftmals mehr zu bedenken, als man im ersten Moment denkt. Du erhältst einen in verschiedene Orthesen für Sprunggelenk, Kniegelenk, Schulter und mehr. Dazu erfährst du die Indikationsstellung, worin sie sich unterscheiden und wie du sie richtig rezeptierst.

You will gain practical knowledge about the indication-based treatment with orthoses in sports – from shoulder and ankle to radius fractures. You will learn when and how medical aids are truly effective, and what role the interdisciplinary team plays in ensuring a quick and safe return to the squad. This knowledge will support your informed decision-making in daily practice and improve the treatment you provide to both recreational and professional athletes.
