Upper and Lower Limb Electrical Stimulation in Paediatrics

چکیده
Held at Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton, London Thursday, 13th June 2002 The aim of the workshop was to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas in an informal setting. There were eight presentations covering many aspects of upper and lower limb stimulation. These were followed by an open discussion. The workshop confirmed that there is considerable interest in stimulation for the paediatric patient group, but that uptake is limited by the lack of assessment/prescription guidelines and clinically relevant outcome measures.
