Invitation to IBRC 2016
13th INTERNATIONAL BIOPHILIA REHABILITATION CONFERENCE, Geneva, Switzerland,
July 18th – 19th, 2016.
It is my pleasure to join my esteemed colleagues
in welcoming you to the 13th INTERNATIONAL BIOPHILIA REHABILITATION
CONFERENCE (IBRC) in Geneva, Switzerland on July 18th -19th,
2016. The IBRC is a leading international forum for advancing
research and restructuring brain injury rehabilitation medicine to obtain functional
recovery and reintegration into society. Brain injury affects cognitive, motor,
behavioural and social functions and we must restructure neurorehabilitation
treatment to address these specific problems. This change requires new programs
and techniques which have been proven to benefit patients of all ages. The
ultimate goal of the IBRC is to contribute to the welfare
of human beings and the sustainability of societies with aging populations. The
conference theme is the "Revolution of Hope of
Re-acquirement of Ability by Rehabilitation Medicine Innovation" chaired
by Professor Areerat Suputtitada, M.D. (Chairperson, Neurorehabilitation
Research Unit, Chulalongkorn University and Chairperson of ISPRM Women and
Health Task Force), Professor Toshiyuki Tanaka (Faculty of Science and
Technology, Keio University) and Professor Takizawa Shiego (President,
International Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy and Professor, Biophilia
Institute of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,Science and Technology). The scientific
program will include lectures and hands-on workshops on the latest in physical
and rehabilitation medicine, exercise, gait and balance, and cutting-edge
technology. The International Biophilia Rehabilitation
Academy (IBRA) is increasingly endorsed each year, with international
conferences hosted in Japan, Cancun, Mexico and Seville, Spain. This year,
conference will be held in Geneva, an historic city which will provide a stimulating
backdrop for this exchange of ideas, developments and breakthroughs in
rehabilitation strategies.
