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).

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!”
