KINARM Camp 2019: We are at Capacity!

Posted on Jan 7, 2019

BKIN is pleased to announce that our 6th annual KINARM Camp, will be held Monday, May 13 to Friday noon, May 17, 2019 in Kingston, Ontario.

As of 24-Jan-19, the camp is full and registration has ended.  If you would like to be put on the waitlist, please email Anne at avivianscott @ bkintechnologies.com . 

The objective of the Camp is to provide focused training on Custom Task development for KINARM Labs. The five day agenda is tailored to Basic Researchers and will provide hands-on learning on the use of MATLAB Simulink and Stateflow to develop Custom Task Programs for the KINARM Lab. New users, graduate students, and post docs are all invited to attend. Clinical researchers with an interest in Custom Task development are also welcome to attend.

The preliminary agenda can be viewed here: KINARM Camp 2019.draft

Attendance is limited to 12 registrants, so please complete the registration form to hold your spot.

If you’re awaiting approvals, please complete the form nonetheless and note that your attendance is tentative.

RehabWeek 2017: Dr. Sean Dukelow speaks about his research with KINARM.

Posted on Jul 24, 2017

 

Dr Sean Dukelow, July 18, 2017 

Long-time KINARM Lab user, Dr. Sean Dukelow, spoke at the International Neurorehabilitation Symposium in London, UK last week.  INRS was one of four conferences that bound together for the biennial installment of RehabWeek.   In his session, he described his research related to identifying and quantifying neurological impairments from stroke, concussion, CP and other disorders.  He spoke of his long-term longitudinal study monitoring outcomes from over 100 subjects with stroke. Over the 6 month period he noted clear differences between early responders, late responders and non-responders. His results highlight the need for more sensitive, targeted identification of sensory and motor deficits to optimize rehabilitation after stroke. Further he has noted that the trajectory of recovery for some individuals with mild to moderate stroke may be much longer than previously considered. underlined the need for better characterization of impairments post stroke (Semrau, et al, 2015).

Neurosci 2014Neuroscience is a week away and Ian, Duncan and Anne are travelling to San Diego to answer your tough questions and give demonstrations of our KINARM End-Point Lab, KINARM Exoskeleton Lab and KINARM Gaze-Tracker.  The high demand for our new Exoskeleton Lab means that the KINARM Classic will have to stand-in for demonstration purposes.  Customer needs always come first!  Send Anne a note if you want to pre-book your visit to avoid a wait!

 

KINARM CAMP 2016 a Success! Watch for dates in 2017

Posted on Jun 15, 2016

KINARM CAMP 2016 Logo20160608_132846 20160608_092908 20160610_101330KINARM Camp was once again a resounding success.

The camp was held June 5 – 10 , 2016 in Kingston, Ontario on the beautiful campus of Queen’s University.

Over a period of 5 days, 12 Campers from 10 different sites, received in-depth training on Custom Task development for KINARM Labs.

 

Here’s what this year’s campers said about Camp:

“KINARM Camp helped me to achieve the right amount of programming freedom that I needed for my science!”
“I cannot think of a better way to learn how to use the KINARM than to attend KINARM camp. The trainers adjust their content and teaching on an individual basis, allowing both the total novice and the more advanced to walk away having learned something new and valuable. Thank you BKIN!”
“KINARM camp was definitely worth investment. The sessions were clear and had realistic aims for folks with minimal or considerable programming experience. The facilitators were also very helpful”.
“Because of KINARM Camp, my research prospect has a bigger and brighter future!”
“KINARM camp helped me to get started with and excited about something I never thought I could: programming in Matlab/Simulink. Thank you all so much!”
