Introduction |
Pre-Conference Workshop 1:
Ultrasound Examination |
04/29
Rm 201AF,
TICC |
09:00-11:00 |
Shoulder, knee, foot and ankle sonographic examination will be demonstrated in this short training course, because most of the patients suffered from these joint problems in our daily practice. This course will extensively review anatomy and pathology of the above joints and perform live scanning for normal anatomic structures.
|
Pre-Conference Workshop 2:
Learn to fabricate a low-temperature thermoplastic AAFO in 20 min!! |
11:30-13:00
|
This skill-building workshop teaches the technique to fabricate a low-temperature thermoplastic AAFO fast and easily. Each participant will have the opportunity to make a low-temperature thermoplastic AAFO by himself/herself during this hand-on course.
|
Pre-Conference Workshop 3:
Meshglove Stimulation |
14:00-15:30
|
Stroke remains a leading cause of permanent disability and it affects mainly on sensorimotor system, especially on upper limbs functions. Meshglove stimulation is to simultaneously depolarize large diameter afferent fibers to entire volar and dorsal aspects of the hand, not necessary to place on specific motor points or nerve trunks.
|
Pre-Conference Workshop 4:
Brain Motor Control Assessment (BMCA) |
16:00-18:00
|
The Brain Motor Control Assessment (BMCA)is a method for characterizing impaired motor control that has a rich history of the theoretical and technological development through contributions made by many researchers from laboratories located around the world.
|
Workshop 7:
Transcutaneous Lumbar Posterior Root Muscle Reflex Stimulation (TLPRMRS) |
05/02
Rm 105
|
13:30-17:00
|
Epidural stimulation of the human posterior lumbar cord can evoke spinal reflexes and enhance locomotor functions. In this workshop, we present a novel surface-electrode based method of spinal cord stimulation. We will demonstrate the simultaneous elicitation of posterior root-muscle reflexes from multiple lower limb muscle groups and discuss applications of this method of transcutaneous posterior roots stimulation for assessment of lumbar cord motor control.
