Dear President, dear Secretary, dear Delegate, dear Friend,

The Annual Congress of the Royal Belgian Society of Physical and
Rehabilitation Medicine (RBSPRM) has taken place in Leuven on
Friday, 9 and Saturday, 10 December 2016, under the presidency of Prof. Koen Peers

It was a very special edition as it was devoted to the honouring of
Prof. Guy Vanderstraeten of the University of Ghent

and Prof. Jean-Michel Crielaard of the University of Liege.

These very appreciated colleagues have been important for the development of PRM in Belgium. Moreover, Prof. Guy Vanderstraeten contributed to an important extent to the PRM specialty across Europe during the last decades, and played a significant role in all European bodies.
Therefore the slogan for the congress was
“PRM for Life – A Life for PRM”.


Prof. Xanthi Michail, president of the European Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine, gave an overview of the International achievements of Prof. Guy Vanderstraeten (see attached document)




Prof. Martine De Muynck highlighted his National career



Prof. Jean-François Kaux gave the laudatio for Prof. Jean-Michel Crielaard (see attached document 1, document 2 )


Prof. Alain Delarque represented ESPRM with a lecture on “ESPRM and research activities in Europe”
(see attached document).


Dr. Carlotte Kiekens represented the EBM committee with a presentation of “Cochrane Rehabilitation”.
(see attached document).
With our best regards
