Towards biomarkers-driven rehabilitation robots for the upper limbs.

This webinar will review existing innovative devices and then show future developments integrating biomarkers from the EMG signal to develop new robotic devices for both amputees and stroke patients.

Ce webinar fera le point sur les dispositifs innovants existants puis montrera les évolutions à venir intégrant les biomarqueurs issus du signal EMG pour développer de nouveaux dispositifs robotiques tant pour les amputés que pour les AVC.

This webinar is intended for an audience interested in innovations in the field of robotics in physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Ce webinar est destiné à un public intéressé par les innovations dans le domaine de la robotique en médecine physique et de réadaptation.
