Workshop on physiotherapy for adults with neuromuscular diseases held at the MRC Centre for Neuromuscular Diseases, Queen Square, London, UK on 28th March 2011

摘要

In March 2011 sixteen health care professionals from six centres in the UK and one in USA assembled at the MRC Centre for Neuromuscular Diseases, London, for a workshop on physiotherapy for adults with neuromuscular disease. The workshop provided a forum to discuss and evaluate the efficacy of current physical therapies and research programmes. The aim of the meeting was twofold - to discuss evidence-based best clinical practice guidelines and to identify physiotherapy research priorities. It is anticipated that this network of neuromuscular physiotherapists will create a core knowledge base, develop guidelines and highlight research opportunities to benefit adults with primary muscle and nerve disease which can ultimately be disseminated to therapists working with people with NMDs.
