Preface It is not a coincidence that cooperation has been chosen as this year s congress theme. The field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation has entered an exciting time of growth and development in which cooperation plays a major role. Cooperation takes place at different levels, starting with the interaction between colleagues on the primary care process as well as inter-institutional collaboration on research and education and national and international alliances. In the clinical realm, rehabilitation physicians have increasingly incorporated the use of new treatment methods to complement traditional medical and surgical techniques. Moreover, the team-oriented approach that is at the core of rehabilitation medicine has resulted in enhanced collaboration with multiple other specialties, such as orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery, traumatology, neurology, internal medicine, and paediatrics. The members of our society are active in these areas of clinical care, and are helping to lead the way in advancing our specialty internationally. Every kind of peaceful cooperation among men is primarily based on mutual trust and only secondarily on institutions. (Albert Einstein) At the educational level, our residency program provides a breadth and depth of training that is exceptional in the international scene. The development of fellowship programs for our graduating residents on the field of paediatric physiatry has opened the door for expansion towards other areas of our specialty. A closer cooperation between university hospitals throughout the country should lead to a new and stronger post-residence structure. The scientific basis of Rehabilitation Medicine continues to expand, and the corps of professors is playing an active role in this progress in good collaboration with non-university centres. Research in rehabilitation prognosis, treatment effectiveness and recovery outcomes in different diagnostic groups are key areas of our focus and we anticipate synergy between our basic science and applied clinical research efforts will result in innovative therapies in the coming years. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead our society at this exciting time, and committed to continuing and expanding its reputation for excellence in all aspects of our mission. It is my sincere wish that this congress will contribute to the enhancement of our cooperation. Juan Martina, President VRA Preface 3

4 Programme Thursday morning Programme Thursday Morning Opening Congress Professor J.H.B. Geertzen MD PhD ISPO s cooperation with NGO s with respect to Education Cooperation and collaboration is one of the main cultural components of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO). In the Netherlands more than 200 rehabilitation physicians are members of the Dutch ISPO but also of ISPO International. ISPO is a global multidisciplinary organization aiming to improve the quality of life for persons who may benefit from prosthetic, orthotic, mobility and assistive devices. Its members are all those professionals who are working in this field. For more than 40 years ISPO (through their National Societies) has provided an effective platform for the exchange and communication on all aspects of the science and practice associated with the provision of prosthetic and orthotic care and associated rehabilitation. ISPO has now more than 3000 members in over 90 countries. ISPO is a nonprofit organization in a special consultative status with the United Nations; has a special collaborative status with USAID and the WHO, and has relationships with many Non Governmental Organisations (NGO) like the International Committee of the Red Cross, Handicap International, Motivation, Cambodja Trust, The Nippon Foundation, Christian Blind Mission (CBM), etc. In addition, ISPO initiates consensus conferences, short courses etc to foster debate, exchange of information and cooperation, advance research and EBP and facilitate innovative and appropriate technology development. In the lecture the focus will be on cooperation with NGO s and international education. Jan Geertzen, rehabilitation physician, is a professor in Rehabilitation Medicine and chairman of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the Center for Rehabilitation, University Medical Center Groningen and president of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics Professor A. Colver MD PhD SPARCLE A longitudinal study of the quality of life of European Study of children with cerebral palsy The SPARCLE project explored the participation and subjective wellbeing of 800 children with cerebral palsy aged 8-12 years across 9 European Regions. Then we visited the young people again aged years. Children with cerebral palsy are used as exemplars of disabled children because they may have a range of impairments of movement, hearing and vision, intelligence and language; and there is a great range of severity. SPARCLE is an epidemiological study with pre-specified hypotheses, outcome measures and sampling procedures; set out in a published protocol. My talk will introduce the main concepts used which concern the social model of disability and domains of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The results on the visits to 8-12 year olds are summarised in the handout. I shall only present some preliminary results from the visits to the year olds. I will then, as asked to do by the conference committee, discuss some of the challenges and solutions to setting up and managing a complex multi centre study. Allan Colver, Donald Court Professor of Community Child Health, Newcastle University, England Professor W.P. Achterberg MD PhD Working together in geriatric rehabilitation In the Dutch Health care system, geriatric rehabilitation can be delivered at several settings. Rehabilitation centers deliver excellent rehabilitation care, on a basis of high intensity treatment. Geriatric rehabilitation in the Netherlands is a typical long-term care reimbursement system. Unlike nursing homes in most other countries, these facilities have excellent trained staff, including specially trained physicians, psychologists, and physical, speech and occupational therapists. Almost patients each year have their rehabilitation in these facilities. In this lecture, I will focus on: 1 - present data on the epidemiology of geriatric rehabilitation in nursing homes. 2 - the innovative process, in which the nursing homes are encouraged to improve rehabilitation outcomes, in cooperation with rehabilitation physicians, hospital and health insurance companies. This innovative process is called: Proeftuin (experimental rehab garden) 3 - the cooperation between physicians working in the nursing home and the rehabilitation center Remodelling organizing geriatric rehabilitation in the Netherlands is necessary to improve integrated care and patient outcomes. Cooperation between physicians working in rehabilitation and in nursing homes is not only relevant but also imperative. Wilco Achterberg is professor of institutional care and elderly care medicine at Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands and Nursing home physician at Topaz Overrhyn, Leiden.

Kruitwagen MD, J. Raaphorst MD Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have symptoms of progressive muscle weakness, disturbed speech, swallowing, siallorhoea, cramps, and in the terminal phase respiratory weakness. Subtle cognitive changes or even frontal temporal dementia may occur. The diagnosis is based on clinical features, disease progression and by exclusion of ALS mimics. The El Escorial diagnostic criteria are used in clinical trials and clinical practice. Multidisciplinary treatment aims at reduction of the different symptoms, to optimize quality of life from the patient and his system. Respiratory weakness is treatable by treating the symptoms of respiratory weakness and by non invasive ventilation (NIV) which improve both survival and quality of life. During the terminal phase palliative treatment pays attention to restlessness, anxiety, pain, and dyspnoea. The Prospective ALS study Netherlands (PAN) studies riskfactors for etiology and course in ALS. All items mentioned above will be highlighted during this meeting. 1c. Mini-symposium: M. Parkinson. History, organisation of care, rehabilitation, new medical and surgical treatments. Chair: R. Meijer BA MSc MD PhD E.C. Wolters MD PhD, E. Drossaer MD, M. Munneke PhD, J.I. Hoff MD PhD This is the first mini-symposium on Parkinson Disease at the VRA scientific meetings. PD as a diagnosis is known since 1817 when James Parkinson summarised the symptoms of paralysis agitans. In the last decades the focus is shifting from the motor symptoms to cognitive deficits. As soon as diagnosis is confirmed in hospital neurologist, physiatrist and parkinson nurse should make an analysis of the patient s clinical profile in accordance with the ICF. The Parkinson Net is an organisation of first line specialised therapists who deliver basic care according to professional standards. In case of complex problems and/or complex analysis and treatment a clinical rehabilitation will be given with a multidisciplinary analysis and treatment according to standards, which is only possible in a few highly specialised centres. The newest developments on Deep Brain Stimulation, Duodopa pump and Apomorfine pump show current possibilities and restrictions. 1d. Workshop: Giving and receiving feedback, for AIOS and specialist W.G.M. Bakx MD, A. van Meeteren MD, G.M. Rommers MD PhD Feedback turns out to be one of the most effective instruments to improve the learning process and achievements of AIOS. Furthermore feedback is highly valued by AIOS. The purpose of this workshop is to learn how to effectively give and receive constructive feedback by means of the rules of Pendleton: ask what went well, add your own observations (only strengths), ask what went less well (weaknesses) and what they would do differently next time, and again add your own observations and recommendations. By means of the Pendleton rules the AIOS becomes actively involved in and is put on to self reflection. The methodology is constructive en contributes to a positive training atmosphere. At first the workshop proposes a theoretical background, subsequently by means of short video films (situations in rehabilitation practice) you will learn to give and receive feedback by applying the Pendleton rules. Interactive workshop; maximum 25 participants Programme Thursday afternoon Tea break General Assembly VRA During the General Assembly, the Board will present the Mission and Vision of our society, anticipating the new strategy for the period The proposal for the budget 2012 will be presented.

E.M.P. van Loon 2b. Workshop: Building a successful collaboration: key ingredients. W. Raadgers MSc, R.F.A. Oosterwijk MD, F.B. van de Weg MD Consultants in physical medicine and rehabilitation are required to take part in quality audits once every 5 years. Key tool in assessing the effectiveness of medical practice is the Quick scan; a questionnaire designed to access the level of cooperation between professionals. A survey of results from the Quick scan shows that key factors requiring improvement are shared values and opinions with respect to responsibilities, open communication, and respect for each other. In an interactive workshop these and other critical factors elemental to optimal medical practice are discussed. Hindrances for an effective cooperation are discussed. This frequently requires thinking outside the box for the betterment of all. Cornerstones for a successful practice are openness, tolerance, trust and a lack of prejudice. This workshop can be useful for all M.D. s who are convinced that working together creates a synergy beneficial to both caregivers and patients. Programme Friday morning OIM heeft vestigingen in: 13

8 Programme Friday morning Programme Friday Morning 2c. Minisymposium: Rehabilitation: a patient-physiatrist dyad... H. Jans Msc, V. Mertens MSc and A.R.J. Sanders MD A decision to start rehabilitation treatment will be most effective when accomplished in mutual agreement between patient and physiatrist. But, how can we best discuss personalized treatment goals for every patient? During this mini symposium, the state of the art of Motivational Interviewing and Shared Decision Making will be presented. Theoretical backgrounds, results from scientific studies and knowledge out of clinical practice on both topics will be discussed. The application of both concepts in rehabilitation of patients with chronic pain will be of special interest. In addition, an interactive session in Motivational Interviewing will be part of this mini symposium. 2d. Workshop: Impairments in the rheumatic hand: more than joints! Chair: Prof. J. Dekker PhD, A.F. Hoeksma, MD PhD, N.C.A. Horsten MD, N.N. van Merendonk MD, V. van Alebeek BSc An interactive workshop in which we will start giving information concerning the course of deterioration of hand deformities in rheumatic diseases. After this, we will practice the physical examination of the hand (in subgroups of about 5 persons), in order to specify the different impairments that can lead to progressive hand deformities. In an interactive way we will have a plenary discussion about possible therapeutic options. Finally we can try out, in subgroups, a recently developed device for treatment: the E-cone. Interactive workshop; maximum 25 participants Coffee break Programme Friday morning Professor A.J.J.A. Scherpbier MD PhD Collaboration in education and training Most doctors will have to work nowadays together with other health professionals to solve the problems of their patients. When students enter medical school they are not always aware of the amount of collaboration in their later life. This means that they need to get in contact with doctors early in the curriculum and have early clinical experience to adjust their picture to a more real picture. They will experience then that collaboration is an important issue for later professional life. A consequence of the amount of collaboration in later life is that students have to learn how to work together. This can be done in curricula where working in small groups is a key element like in Problem Based Learning. As well undergraduate as postgraduate curriculum developers should pay enough attention to collaborative learning. From the viewpoint of a clinical discipline early contact with students is also important to give information about the discipline, this is crucial for disciplines that are not so well-known. Students choice for specialization is influenced by early contact with the discipline. The above mentioned issues will be discussed in the presentation. Albert Scherpbier is Professor of Quality Promotion in Medical Education and Scientific Director of the Education Institute of the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences at the University Maastricht Mrs. E. Roetering- Van Geenhuizen Role of patient organizations: a plea for cooperation Policy makers in Dutch Healthcare use many nice slogans like More Power to the Patient or Patient centered healthcare. Also cooperation is an increasingly recurring theme. Politically, these are beautiful words and intentions, but implementation of it is more difficult than expected. Not every doctor, healthcare worker or scientist is willing to leave his own comfort zone or to allow others to enter in it. This requires a change in thinking, and this is a time consuming process. The fact that patients can think for themselves is difficult to accept for many of these healthcare workers. Luckily, more and more examples of projects show up in which it proves that working together with a patient group has its advantages. In recent years, many treatment protocols and guidelines were improved thanks to the experience, expertise and knowledge present in patients organizations. It proves that the combination of Expertise and Experience has additional value! The Pijn-Hoop Foundation was founded in 1988 with the mission to improve the quality of life for people with chronic pain. Many of the original wishes are not fulfilled yet. Chronic pain is still not accepted as an independent disorder and additional problems are still underestimated. Elly Roetering is president of Foundation Pain Hope, the Dutch organisation for people with chronic pain. Programme Friday morning 15

Ramaeckers PhD Physical fitness is important for all children, including children with disabilities. This mini-symposium demonstrates the state of the art on testing and training principles for children with disabilities. These issues have become increasingly important in the last decade. The one size fits all principle is outdated and specific testing and training programs have been developed for several childhood conditions. The presenters will inform you about their experiences in finding out the best testing and training methodologies for these children. This program is developed in cooperation with the Dutch Paediatric Physical Therapy Association. 3c. Mini-symposium: The Explicit-stroke programme: What is the X-factor of cooperation in a Multi centre trial? Prof. G. Kwakkel PhD, Prof J.H. Arendzen, MD PhD, R.H.M. Nijland MSc, J.van Kordelaar MSc, F.E. Buma MSc, C.D. Bakker MD MSc, J.M. van der Krogt MD, A. Klomp MSc In this mini-symposium three aspects of cooperation in the large multicentre Explicit-stroke trial will be addressed. This symposium will start by unveiling some aspects of interventions (Constraint Induced Movement Therapy and EMG triggered neuromuscular stimulation) as applies in the trial and on patients experience during the trial. Next, the researchers will shed light on translational research: how to measure longitudinally from function (fmri, TMS, neuromechanics) to activities and participation (kinematics and clinimetrics). The last part of the session will focus on multi-disciplinary use of prediction models and the accuracy of predictions on outcome in terms of upper limb function, made by therapists. 3d Workshop: Communicating with caregivers/family of rehabilitation patients Chair: C. Linssen MSc Caregivers of rehabilitation patients require time, energy and creativity. Often they are very concerned of the patient but they also have their own needs and preferences. Sometimes these seem to clash with needs and preferences of the patient. Caregivers in some instances display extreme behavior, out of powerlessness and a need to act. The healthcare professional may find this behavior a challenge. Tensions may occur between patients and caregivers, but also between caregivers and healthcare professionals. Cilia Linssen wrote a book about behavioral patterns that may occur in the triangle patient/doctor/caregiver. ( Onmacht en Daadkracht Bohn Stafleu van Loghum, 2010). In this workshop she will give a presentation on these patterns, specifically aiming at the rehabilitation specialist. Additionally cases of the audience will be illustrated by actors. Participants will receive practical tips and tricks to deal with caregivers. Cilia Linssen is trainer, coach and consultant in healthcare. She provides training in teambuilding, communication and collaboration for physicians, nurses and multidisciplinary teams.

11 Programme Friday afternoon Programme Friday afternoon Awarding : best presentation and best poster Professor F. Nollet MD PhD Cooperation in Rehabilitation Medicine: obligation or opportunity? Physicians used to be vain individualists with a high perception of autonomy. As they ruled over the health of helpless patients they mainly cooperated by ordinance. Only some decades ago specialists were undiscussed authorities, and heads of staff emperors defending their territories. Coming from this cultural background, things have changed rapidly in recent years and nowadays, cooperation is an inevitable part of medical care. But do doctors really want to cooperate or are echoes of the past still influencing our attitude and behaviour? In quality audits of medical staffs cooperation is a major issue. Of course, difficulties in cooperation occur. Everyone knows disastrous examples of cooperation with patients, between doctors and in teams. However, this applies to others and not us. Is this a lack of illness perception? How do we work together in patient care, in research and in education for the specialty? Some areas of cooperation are battle fields at best characterized by a truce. A confronting analysis will be made of the present status of cooperation in rehabilitation medicine in the arena s of patient care, research, and education. Primary targets for improvement of our field by cooperation will be denominated. Achievement requires individual responsibility and (painful) decisions.
