Abstract:
(text automatically translated from Italian) The Day of Work, jointly organized by the Society? Italian Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Section 24? Orthotics Prosthetics Assistive Technology Information Telerehabilitation) and from? IRCCS Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi, analyzed the main problems today in terms of prosthetic assistance, in order to identify the areas of work that can contribute to the improvement of its quality? and efficiency in? current context of pressure for the containment of public spending. The day saw over eighty participants, but also mainly physiatrists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other professionals involved in? Prosthetic assistance. The work was divided into four sessions. The first session? been devoted to the problems still open in the path evaluation? Prescription - provision of assistive technology. The second, at? Analysis of? Effectiveness and all? Efficiency of? Prosthetic assistance. The third, to the knowledge of the new tools provided by Internet portals and SIVA EASTIN for the evaluation and prescription of assistive technology. The fourth session? was dedicated to a? extensive discussion in which they emerged, in addition to the known critical issues? related to? inadequacy of? obsolete NHS and the lack of a desirable Directory aids in the series, a number of areas of work on which the SIMFER potr? make a valuable contribution. They are: the need? form of rehabilitation professionals in a collaborative approach with? user, in order to gain a choice of? using appropriate and agreed, the need? to put in place procedures for follow-up at a distance of aids provided, the need? to clarify the concept of riconducibilit?, ending the welter of conflicting interpretations, and the dissemination of good practice in the field of testing and recycling, l? importance of developing the system Assistive Technology Centers as specialized structures at the regional level reference for case studies pi? undertake complex interdisciplinary technical expertise and adequate capital equipment. The detailed program of the day and the speakers' slides are freely downloadable.
