SUMMARY:ME 250 Seminar Series: Dr. David Reinkensmeyer
LOCATION:Winston Chung Hall 205/206
DESCRIPTION:Title: Robots and Sensors for Movement Training after Neurolog
 ic Injury: What Have We Learned and What Comes Next?\n\nAbstract: A funda
 mental goal of movement rehabilitation following neurologic injuries such
  as stroke is to enhance sensorimotor plasticity through targeted movemen
 t practice. Over the past 40 years\, researchers have developed robotic a
 nd sensor-based technologies to facilitate and quantify this practice. In
  this talk\, I will describe key findings regarding post-stroke motor rec
 overy that have emerged from these technologies. I will also discuss what
  we have learned about who benefits most from robot-assisted training and
  why\, highlighting the role of somatosensory feedback as a teaching sign
 al. Finally\, I will provide examples of mechatronic rehabilitation techn
 ologies that have successfully transitioned into clinical and home settin
 gs\, inviting discussion on the design factors that drive their adoption.
 \n\nBio: David Reinkensmeyer is Professor in the Departments of Mechanica
 l and Aerospace Engineering and Anatomy and Neurobiology at the Universit
 y of California at Irvine. He is co-inventor of the T-WREX upper extremit
 y training device\, which was commercialized as ArmeoSpring\, and the Mus
 icGlove finger training device. He was Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of 
 Neuroengineering and Rehabilitation for 10 years and is a fellow of the N
 ational Academy of Inventors.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/86fb807a-65f
