Just a great group! James (Jim) Patton and his talented Shirley Ryan AbilityLab research group are trailblazers in rehabilitation robotics. Great trip, great company & great weather. In true Chicago form, even got a welcome flyover! Blue Angels facebook.com/watch/?v=11744…

"Pawpaw" is a common nickname for your grandfather in Kentucky. My Pawpaw's birthday is next week, his presence is missed, and his memory cherished. Stroke affects us all & awareness is key. #WorldStrokeDay

Big news! From 25 – 27 October 2024, #CYBATHLON2024 of ETH Zurich will take place in a global format in the Arena Schluefweg Kloten near Zurich and local hubs all around the world! We will connect the worldwide races and audiences in a new, innovative way. And that’s not all… (1/2)

Countless times, I see astounding stories of patient recovery. Yet such stories remain difficult to convince the bean-counters. Let's solve this! A recent video of our research to "count" stroke rehab. With a 'lil luck (and funding), let's make what counts matter! University of Kentucky PM&R

A finger snap... the fastest acceleration every recorded in the human body, thanks to these NSF researchers: nsf.gov/discoveries/di…

A fantastic promo for CYBATHLON. Looking forward to this next Olympiad in 2024! youtu.be/c1kcDykQHCE

An amazing story you should watch (and listen) to... Pat Quinn lost & then regained his voice for ALS. Remembering this hero. youtu.be/Dcg0rKG5WlU

Our tracking dual-plane fluoroscope was unveiled at last to the public! It’s not complete, but the audience grasped an idea of its potential! Bill Taylor testing the machinery 🤖 🏃

Together, University of Kentucky PM&R and UK Electrical and Computer Engineering are working to make motion studies available to any person's rehabilitation (& anywhere!) -- Sneak Peak: We replicate an expensive motion capture lab with two mobile video cameras.

A spooky scene in the lab this week... I'll probably not do this on Halloween. Have a save weekend!

Is a dynamic system helpful to dynamics of stroke rehabilitation? Thanks to a dynamic team effort, we share our recent paper exploring this question. jneuroengrehab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

"I need a way to guide a 3D scanner in clinic" (Me, University of Kentucky PM&R ) "Okay" (Capstone Design Team, UK Engineering )

Design is a cycle. With digital design & 3D printers, we want to ramp up this cycle and make rehab tools more useful & infinitely customizable. A recent paper on our efforts. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Time to prime the imagination of student engineers with real-world clinical challenges. ijee.ie/latestissues/V…

Surprised to find this "markerless" motion capture from the 70s! Sadly, not quite as advertised. The VHS-style promo provides a redeeming dose of nostalgia though... arielnet.com/videos/show/ad…

What happens when you add drinking water to AI? We think it will help rehabilitation after stroke. Please read more in our latest paper! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Introducing the unofficial research mascot for University of Kentucky PM&R...

Past weekend, 67 teams from 24 countries showcased groundbreaking assistive tech at CYBATHLON 2024! Over 6,000 spectators and 21,000 online viewers joined us to witness user-centered innovations in 8 disciplines. Impressions: shorturl.at/ChCX9 Read shorturl.at/NBYez

20+ reflective markers meticulously placed on the hand (right) versus markerless (left). We're a small clinical/engineering/research group University of Kentucky PM&R performing R&D of the latter in hopes of improving stroke rehabilitation. More to come!
