Abstract

The International Biophilia Academy Rehabilitation Conference - IBR(A)C - has now reached to its 13th Edition, that will be held on 19-18 July, 2016, in Geneva/ Switzerland.
Since the beginning of my actual Greetings I want to emphasize that IBRA and its annual related Workshop - to be held on 27-28 April, in Japan - and respectively, above mentioned Conference, has advanced to a new level regarding one of the major goals of this Academy: to give a welcome supplementary input - aiming at a positively somehow ”restructuring” of (Neuro)”Rehab. Medicine” - for bettering the currently obtained outcomes in the, especially sorely, chronic neurological conditions’ approach. This is because the respective results, unfortunately, do not yet fully match the expectations of very numerous (and growing in number - including within a continuous and accelerated demographic aging population, i.e. with more elderly, that are prone to multi-morbidity, among which neural-motor/sensorial-/psycho-cognitive/communicational, disorders, are some of the most severe impairments, but/and at the same time, being targets for rehabilitative/assistive endeavors) severely disabled persons and therefore, in need including for (Neuro)Rehabilitation (and/or - encompassing - assistive facilities/devices and afferent technologies, to be used and improved, too).
Accordingly, as an academic physician of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (with special focus on NeuroRehabilitation and President/ Co-Founder, including of the Romanian Society for NeuroRehabilitation - RoSNeRa - affiliated to the World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation ? WFNR) and respectively, of Gerontology and Geriatrics, I salute the focus of both, the Workshop and the Conference, this year, on the brain impairments’ recovery through a patented, newer rehabilitative technique and specifically, by standing on the ”Preparation for the Randomized control trial of the passive exercise vs. the Motivative exercise”
