Meet Glide and discover a new direction in upper limb myoelectric control at the MEC Symposium 2024 in Fredericton, NB, Canada, from August 12th to 15th, hosted by the University of New Brunswick! #MEC24

MEC24 is here! The fun began today with 4 pre-conference workshops, which were all well attended. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow to officially kick off #MEC24

Having a great #MEC24 so far and looking forward to discussions during the poster presentations up next....come find me at poster 10

Thanks to everyone who came to discuss my poster today at #MEC24 I’ll be around all week if you have any questions or want to take a look at an example of one of the moulds we take. Poster10

Day 1 of #MEC24 kicked off with a great keynote from Dr. Helen Huang. Vendor workshops were presented by silver sponsor Hannah & platinum sponsor Össur. We heard several fantastic podium presentations, perspective talks, & a round of fast-track poster presentations.

War Amps representatives Alexis McConachie and Annelise Petlock are at #MEC24 this week, growing and sharing our knowledge in the field of amputation and prosthetics in Canada. They look forward to learning and engaging with attendees! 🦾 IBME #LimbDifference #Prosthetics

A great start to the Myoelectric Control Symposium so far 🇨🇦 Interesting presentations, cool research, and tons of engagements! 🦾 Not a bad location either 🌅 Pleased to be demoing the full range of Delsys #EMG sensors for neural interfacing 🧠⚡️ #MEC24

Making progress on my #MEC24 exhibitor bingo card...3 stands to go. Great idea for encouraging engagement.

Day 2 of #MEC24 was a day of many perspectives. 4 prosthesis users participated in a panel & we held our first unconference session where we ID'd key challenges. We heard industry talks from Coapt | Myo Pattern Recognition and #IBT, 5 paper presentations & a perspective talk by Richard Weir.

Day 3 of #MEC24 captured the broad scope of innovations and challenges the myolectric controls community is currently facing. Tonight, we feast at our lobster banquet dinner!

That’s a wrap for #MEC24! Delsys presented on motor unit separation at our final vendor workshop. We are grateful to our delegates, sponsors, and exhibitors for making MEC24 a success. 👏 Stay tuned for the MEC27 date announcement!
