Alongside scientific presentations, the conference updates various modern techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), high-intensity laser therapy, biofeedback, and injections of botulinum toxin for the treatment of muscle spasticity.

The conference serves as an opportunity for experts, physicians, and technicians to share their experiences, exchange clinical approaches, and discuss the practical application of scientific advancements in practical treatment.

In particular, the workshops organized by the Da Nang C Hospital provide expanded hands-on training opportunities, allowing participants to engage directly with specialized techniques, equipment, and procedures.

This allows physicians and technicians to exchange expertise on operating advanced rehabilitation equipment, such as gait-training robots, upper-limb rehabilitation robots, the VRRS virtual reality system, and the Gamma balance training device.

This also enables participants to further underpin their skills and enhance their ability to apply professional knowledge to patient treatment.
