Konczak receives CEHD Jump Start grant to further develop robotic rehabilitation technology

WristBot device

Jürgen Konczak, PhD, School of Kinesiology professor and director of the Human Sensorimotor Control Laboratory, has been awarded a $50,000 grant from the CEHD Jump Start program. The grant will enable Dr. Konczak’s group to improve the technology of a wrist exoskeleton designed for the rehabilitation of wrist/hand function, with the aim to eventually commercialize the device and to make it available to rehabilitation hospitals and their patients.
