Conference

The EX-Center is a Swedish national knowl­edge and reha­bil­i­ta­tion center for people with multi­ple limb loss. It oper­ates as a national expert team and is jointly supported by a health­care provider and a patient organization. 

The services are primar­ily aimed at people with congen­i­tal limb malfor­ma­tions (dysmelia), people affected by Thalido­mide, and people with ampu­ta­tions. Part of the expert team lives with multi­ple limb differ­ences them­selves and plays a key role in plan­ning and design­ing the care programmes. 

The EX-Center was founded in 1994 and has exten­sive expe­ri­ence in the treat­ment and reha­bil­i­ta­tion of adults and children.

In the work­shop, partic­i­pants will gain insight into the unique collab­o­ra­tion between the non-profit Swedish Thalido­mide Soci­ety and the private health­care provider Otto­bock Care on behalf of the Stock­holm Region. This will illus­trate how differ­ent perspec­tives and compe­ten­cies are brought together in care delivery.
