MyndMove: How Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy forReaching and Grasping Can be Used to Overcome Paralysis.

This webinar is led by Milos R. Popovic, PhD, Institute Director - KITE, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute - University Health Network and Tenured Professor, University of Toronto. In this lecture, Dr. Popovic presented a Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy for reaching and grasping, which does not belong to a typical “garden variety” neuroprostheses that one can commonly find discussed in the literature. In the literature, the neuroprostheses for grasping are used to replace and substitute function, and patients are expected to depend on these devices their entire lives to reach and grasp objects. This lecture will showcase a neuroprosthetic application, better known as Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy, which is aimed at restoring voluntary arm and hand function after severe stroke and spinal cord injury, instead of making the users depend on technology to perform reaching and grasping. In the lecture, the results of Phase II randomized control trials will be presented, which were pivotal for this technology to become a commercially viable product. At the end of the lecture, I will talk about the commercialization efforts involved in getting this therapy and turning it into a product, better known as MyndMove.

Promising Features of Future Robot-Aided Therapy

This webinar is led by Robert Riener, PhD, Full Professor for Sensory-Motor Systems, Department of Health Sciences and Technology, ETH Zurich; Full Professor of Medicine, Spinal Cord Injury Center, Balgrist University Hospital, University of Zurich. Robots can be very useful to restore upper and lower limb movement abilities of individuals with neurological or orthopedic lesions. However, current mechatronic solutions are still too bulky, and their sensory technologies and control strategies are still too primitive to support the correct motion and motion intention. Furthermore, they still require a lot of effort, labor and/or surveillance by a human therapist. Consequently, the use of the robots is less intensive than it could be, and robots are not yet broadly accepted by patients and medical staff. Therefore, we need to change the function and use of the rehabilitation robots to increase acceptability, therapy outcome and, eventually, quality of life of those who require physio or occupational therapy. For example, novel devices should provide effective assist-as-needed support and become more convenient and easier to use by both patients and therapists. In this talk Dr. Riener presented new technical features and ideas that may improve the rehabilitation of arm movements and gait.

Neuromodulation for Brain and Spinal Cord Functional Restoration in Neurological Disorders Workshop Recording

The Neuromodulation for Brain and Spinal Cord Functional Restoration in Neurological Disorders Workshop, hosted by AR3T & NC NM4R, was held virtually and free of charge on Friday, November 5, 2021. This workshop introduced methods for targeted neuromodulation as an adjunct to regenerative rehabilitation approaches. Dr. Jon Wolpaw addressed the importance of merging regenerative rehabilitation and neuromodulation when he discussed operant conditioning of evoked responses as a potential way to train new neural circuits generated regenerative medicine techniques.

Webinar Recording - OpenSense: Analyzing Motion with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Data

OpenSense is a new workflow within the OpenSim musculoskeletal simulation software that provides tools to use IMU data to analyze motion. In our latest webinar, Carmichael Ong from Stanford University presented an overview of OpenSense and the results of a validation study examining traditional marker-based inverse kinematics versus IMU-based inverse kinematics. Dr. Ong also presented a short hands-on tutorial to teach participants how to use OpenSense with an example using gait data.

Precision Rehabilitation- MR3 Network's Inaugural Scientific Retreat

How do we choose the best rehabilitation interventions for our patients? What makes an intervention better for one patient over another? Patient-specific intervention in rehabilitation is a growing need. The retreat took place over two-days and explored the concept of “precision rehabilitation.” In our archive, you can listen as experts in related fields set the framework for how precision medicine has been successful, hear about resources that may be available from MR3 Centers and funding agencies, and help set the direction for future areas of research and implementation.

NC NM4R Transcranial Focused Ultrasound (tFUS) for Neuromodulation Workshop, October 1, 2020

What is needed before transcranial focused ultrasound can become a clinical rehabilitation technique? tFUS is a non-invasive form of neuromodulation with the ability to target deep structures. The use of tFUS is an emerging field of study with questions remaining about the use of tFUS to safely treat neurological and psychological diseases in humans. This online workshop will feature presentations and discussion on the topics of tFUS principles, safety, combined modes of neuromodulation, and the use of tFUS to treat pain and disorders of consciousness.
