The use of technologies in MS rehabilitation is continuously growing. In particular, the use of virtual reality, soft robotics (i.e. exoskeleton) and robotics has gained much and much more interest in the researchers and clinicians community. In this teaching courses we will have theoretical and “hands on” session that will cover “around the corner” ready to be used technologies and a look to the future for devices that will help healthcare professionals in delivering effective rehab to people with MS.

Physical activity is a promising tool for treatment of several symptoms of MS, including motor, cognitive and psychosocial deficits. Due to the early onset of MS, often affecting young people, sports may play a crucial role to increase compliance, adherence, and overall efficacy of the intervention. In this teaching course, recent initiatives aiming at braking down boundaries limiting sports activity in MS will be illustrated and theoretical and practical interactive sessions on inclusive, accessible, personalized and adapted sports activity will be held.

Pelvic floor disorders are among the most common symptoms in MS patients. The treatments evolved in recent years, especially by introducing the use of new technologies (biofeedback and the use static platform, like the WII balance Board, in order to reproduce an ecological environment). Early and specific treatments of these disorders are crucial in order to increase quality of life , facilitate social interaction, being MS mostly a disease of young adults. In this teaching course we will have the opportunity to understand theoretically and with practical sessions how, in a multidisciplinary approach, we can deliver effective rehabilitation treatments using also new technologies.
