Stockholm 2010-04-06: New research and improved methods in the rehabilitation medicine area gives injured people a chance to return to a meaningful life, including the capability of working. At the Baltic and North Sea Conference on Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine in Stockholm, Sweden (14-16 April 2010), 250 European scientists and practitioners within rehabilitation medicine will meet to exchange knowledge, discuss and debate.

The intention is to exchange knowledge and increase international collaboration.
Conference sessions will focus on the subject of rehabilitation medicine from many aspects, highlighting research where north European countries are world-leading. How do we assess, diagnose, prevent and treat different kinds of disabilities, and how can rehabilitation help people with disabilities become as active and independent as possible?
All rehabilitation processes need to consider the patients needs and current life situation. Both medicinal and social goals must be established. Interaction with primary care and different health authorities is also becoming increasingly important.
