The Rheumatic Hand Congress

Dear friends & colleagues

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming autumn congress on hand therapy, the reumatic hand, which will take place on Saturday, November 23rd at the Van der Valk Hotel in Zaventem. This congress will provide an in-depth overview of the challenges and treatment options related to the rheumatic hand.

The following topics will be covered during the congress:

  • An overview of the deformities caused by rheumatism in the hand
  • Possible treatment options for the rheumatic hand
  • The role of physiotherapy: How can it benefit patients with rheumatism?
  • The importance of splinting: What are the advantages and disadvantages?
  • Ergonomic principles and the use of assistive devices for patients with rheumatism

This congress offers hand therapists the opportunity to broaden their knowledge and gain practical insights that can be directly applied in clinical practice. We look forward to exploring the latest insights and treatment strategies together.

Be sure to sign up and reserve your spot!

Hope to see you soon!

Regards
Rozemie Zenner, BHT
