TEACHING COURSE FATIGUE MANAGEMENT
Course Coordinator
Dr Heleen Beckerman, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine and MS Center, VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam
Short Introduction
The latest scientific results of fatigue management trials in patients with MS are genuine game changers for clinical practice and individual treatment of patients with MS-related fatigue. In this interactive multidisciplinary course the unique and valuable contribution of these studies to clinical practice will be discussed.
Target audience
This multidisciplinary course has been designed to meet the educational interests of nurses, occupational therapist, psychologists, neuropsychologists, rehabilitation physicians, and others within and outside RIMS, who want to treat their MS patients with fatigue effectively.
Learning Objectives
* To increase the understanding of primary and secondary fatigue in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
* To gain insight in the state of the art of research on effectiveness of fatigue management in MS.
* To become aware of your own position regarding mono-disciplinary or multi-disciplinary treatment of MS-related fatigue.
* To improve the ability to utilize current evidence-based fatigue management therapies.
Timetable of the programme
11:00-12:30 part 1
12:30-13:00 break – lunch – networking
13:00-15:00 part 2
15:00 closing
Programme outline (subject to minor changes)
* Interactive introduction to the topic
* Triage of primary and secondary fatigue
* The latest evidence and the latest guidelines of treating fatigue in MS
* Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: the TREFAMS-CBT, ELEVIDA, and FACETS approach.
* Practical Example of the Cognitive Behavioural Approach

TEACHING COURSE RESPIRATORY TRAINING
Course Coordinator
Dr. Marc Rietberg , Department of Rehabilitation Medicine and MS Center, VU University Medical Center
Chair
Dr. Erwin van Wegen
Short Introduction
Respiratory muscle weakness as a consequence of MS is related to neurological impairment, physical inactivity and respiratory complications. Diminished motor performance and severe fatigue, as experienced by most people with MS in all stages of the disease, influence the level and pattern of physical activity and pulmonary function. Therefore, specific exercise training for respiratory muscles may be beneficial.
Target population
Multidisciplinary Audience, e.g. Rehabilitation Physicians, physiotherapists.
Learning Objectives
* To increase the understanding of in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
* To gain insight in the state of the art of research on effectiveness of respiratory training in MS.
* To improve the ability to utilize current evidence-based fatigue management therapies.

15:00 closing
Programme outline (subject to minor changes)
* Introduction to the topic
* Respiratory (dys)function in MS
* The latest evidence in respiratory training for MS
* Early recognition of respiratory problems and possible physiotherapeutic interventions in people with MS
Contributions of:
Marc Rietberg, Cochrane review Respiratory training for MS
Erwin van Wegen, Cochrane review Respiratory training for MS
Christian van Niekerk, physiotherapeutic interventions for respiratory problems
