Harvard NeuroRehabilitation 2024

Comprehensive Neurorehabilitation Update

Cutting-edge strategies, updates, and best practices for state-of-the-art rehabilitation

Overview

Patients with stroke, SCI, TBI, brain tumors, and functional and degenerative neurological diseases face significant disruption to so many facets of their lives, and clinicians are left with so many treatment dimensions to consider, that rehabilitation is never simple. These challenges are compounded by the fact that rehabilitation approaches are now in a period of rapid expansion. It’s difficult to stay current with, choose, and use the best options for neurorehabilitation—yet this is key to optimizing patient outcomes.

It’s with these challenges in mind that we present NeuroRehabilitation 2024.
