Yesterday I attended the Kids Up North Exhibition to update on new equipment for kids with disabilities and meet people I have not seen for a while. This was a very good day as there is a lot of new exciting equipment available. Some of the most exciting was the Leckey Mygo Standing frame www.leckey.com/products it has the ability to accommodate some knee flexion contracture allowing the spine to remain in more natural curves. This seems like a good idea and I am looking forward to trying it with clients.
It was interesting meeting with solicitors from Pannone and Irwin Mitchell and hearing their work in getting appropriate rehabilitation services for people who have been injured.
It was a very busy exhibition and the speakers were interesting. I managed to get to a talk by Moira Draper from Cerebra's talk about sleep and issues that can arise for children with neurological disorders. I found this very interesting and informative. http://www.cerebra.org.uk/English/Pages/home.aspx
Overall a very good day.
