Juergen Konczak, Ph.D., director of the Human Sensorimotor Control Lab (HSCL), and an HSCL doctoral student, Anna Vera Cuppone,  presented at the 2015 International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR) in Singapore.

Konczak, a member of ICORR’s Scientific Committee, was invited to speak on the use of robots to aid diagnosis and as therapeutic tools for improving body awareness and motor control in neurological patients. Konczak also chaired the session on Neuroscience and Brain Machine Interfaces.

Cuppone  gave two poster presentations at ICORR on the collaborative work between HSCL and the Italian Institute of Technology on how wrist joint proprioception can be trained in humans. The work has implications for treating patients with proprioceptive deficits due to nervous system disease such as stroke or peripheral neuropathy.
