It is our pleasure to invite you to the 4th International Conference on NeuroRehabilitation

(ICNR2018) that will take place in Pisa (Italy) from October 16 to 20.

Restoring human sensory, motor and cognitive functions has been a fascinating research

area during the last century. Interfacing the human nervous system with electronic and mechatronic

systems to restore or compensate the neural function of patients is facing its crucial passage

between research and actual clinical reality.

The 2018 International Conference on Neurorehabilitation will bring together researchers

and students from the fields of Clinical Rehabilitation, Applied Neurophysiology, and Biomedical

Engineering to promote, feed and encourage this therapeutic global shift. Moreover, the conference

will be held in parallel with the International Symposium on Wearable Robotics (WeRob2018),

which will bring together researchers and innovators from all around the world to discuss novel

approaches, challenges and potential solutions in technologies for wearable robots, especially in the

clinical field.

GENERAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION

4th


ICNR2018 will be held at Il Palazzo dei Congressi di Pisa.

Pisa is a city in the Tuscany region of Central Italy straddling the Arno just before it empties into

the Ligurian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Pisa. Although Pisa is known worldwide

for its leaning (the bell tower of the city's cathedral), the city of over 91,104 residents (around

200,000 with the metropolitan area) contains more than 20 other historic churches, several medieval

palaces and various bridges across the Arno.

Pisa was the birthplace of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), the father of modern science, who was also

professor of "Philosophia Naturalis" at Pisa University, founded in 1343 and alma mater of three

Nobel laureates (and five popes). The Pisa University system includes also the Scuola Normale

Superiore and the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (local organizer of the congress), which are reliably

at the top of their categories in international university rankings.

Vanderbilt University

Title: Low-Power Approaches to Wearable Robotics for Minimizing Physical Disability

Abstract: This talk will describe ongoing work in the design and control of prostheses and

exoskeletons intended to restore functionality or mobility to individuals with limb loss or

neuromuscular impairment. In contrast to previously described approaches involving “fully-

powered” wearable devices, this talk will explore opportunities in the development of low-power

approaches to the design and control of wearable robotics, where the robotic devices employ semi-

powered and/or modulated-passive behaviors that function in combination with power from the user

in an effort to provide assistive functionality in a lower-weight and/or more compact package

relative to fully-powered approaches. Such devices do not replace or displace fully-powered

approaches, but offer a complement to them along the continuum of care that perhaps trades range

of functionality for smaller size and lower weight.

Short CV: Michael Goldfarb received the B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from the

University of Arizona, Tucson, in 1988, and the S.M. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering

Title: Enhancing Human Performance with Wearable Haptics

Abstract: Haptic feedback has long been known to improve human performance during

teleoperation tasks, where an individual can intuitively control a remote robot with visual and tactile

feedback. With increasingly mobile sensing and actuation technologies, wearable haptics offer new

opportunities for enhancing human performance outside of a typical laboratory setting. This talk

will describe a number of different haptic feedback modalities, including kinesthetic feedback,

vibration, and skin stretch, that can be embedded in wearable systems and integrated with robotic

devices. A number of application domains will be discussed that highlight the potential for wearable

haptics to restore lost sensory function, promote recovery from injury, and enhance human

capabilities through novel training methods.

Title: Sensorimotor hand function: Bridging the gap between control mechanisms and clinical

translation

Abstract: The sophistication of the hand’s neuromuscular system, while making it incredibly

versatile, also challenges our ability to improve sensorimotor deficits caused by neurodegenerative

disease, e.g., stroke, or replace basic function following traumatic injury, e.g., limb loss. Given

these challenges, understanding fundamental sensorimotor control mechanisms is critical to

optimize translational efforts and clinical outcomes.

Sensorimotor hand function can be described as a multidimensional space where mechanical,

neural, and cognitive factors interact to enable a rich repertoire of actions – from skilled

manipulation and playing musical instruments, to perceiving properties of our environment through

exploratory procedures. Within this repertoire of actions, dexterous object manipulation is a

hallmark of human evolution. Co-adaptation of anatomical features and sensorimotor control

mechanisms have made dexterous manipulation an effective means of interacting with the

environment. Humans’ ability to perform dexterous manipulation has also inspired research efforts

aiming at building dexterous robotic and prosthetic hands, and devices for rehabilitation of hand

function.

My laboratory strives to bridge basic and applied research on hand function by investigating

mechanisms underlying grasping and dexterous manipulation, and developing experimental

approaches to improve sensorimotor function. In my presentation, I will review insights obtained

from research on control of the hand’s multiple degrees of freedom, interaction between feedback

and feedforward force control mechanisms, and neural constraints on learning and transfer of

dexterous manipulation. This work will be discussed in the context of clinical applications with

emphasis on prosthetics, brain-machine interfaces, enhancement of sensorimotor learning processes

through non-invasive neuromodulation, and directions for future research.

Short CV: Marco Santello received a Bachelor in Kinesiology from the University of L’Aquila,

Italy, in 1990 and a Doctoral degree in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of

Birmingham (U.K.) in 1995. After a post-doctoral fellowship at the Department of Physiology (now

Neuroscience) at the University of Minnesota, he joined the Department of Kinesiology at Arizona

State University (ASU) (1999-2010). He is currently Professor of Biomedical Engineering,

Director, and Harrington Endowed Chair at the School of Biological and Health Systems

Engineering. His main research interests are motor control, learning, haptics, and multisensory

integration. His Neural Control of Movment laboratory uses complementary research approaches,

ranging from non-invasive neuromodulation transcranial magnetic stimulation to motion tracking,

electroencephalography, and virtual reality environments. His work (100+ publications) has been

published in neuroscience and engineering journals, and has been supported by the National

Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, DARPA, the Whitaker Foundation, The

Mayo Clinic, and Google. He has served as grant reviewer for US and European funding agencies,

Associate Editor for Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering, and member of the Editorial Board

Title: Potential of Robotic Technology to Assess Brain Function and Dysfunction

Abstract: Clinical assessment plays a crucial role in all facets of patient care, from diagnosing the

specific disease or injury, to management and monitoring of rehabilitation strategies to ameliorate

dysfunction. Most assessment scales for sensorimotor function are subjective in nature with

relatively coarse rating systems, reflecting that it is difficult for even experienced observers to

discriminate consistently small changes in performance using only the naked eye. Our general

hypothesis is that robotic technologies can provide an objective approach to quantify sensory, motor

and cognitive impairments. We developed a robotic device called KINARM, an exoskeleton robot

that is attached to the arm and permits movements at the shoulder and elbow joints in the horizontal

plane. The system includes two KINARM robots to assess each arm, and an integrated virtual

reality system that projects objects onto the horizontal workspace. We have also developed other

robotic platforms for clinical assessment including end-point robots that can be grasped by the

subjects, and systems that can be used while standing to assess coordination between voluntary

control of the arms and whole-body balance control. Eye-tracking technologies can also be

integrated into the systems to quantify oculomotor function and eye-hand coordination. Integral to

our approach is a suite of behavioural tasks to quantify sensory, motor and cognitive impairments

including automated scoring systems to compare subject performance to healthy controls

considering factors such as age, sex and handedness. These platforms are being used to quantify

impairments in many disorders/injuries including stroke, ALS, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple

Sclerosis, transient ischemic attack, migraine, concussion, and assess brain function in non-primary

neurological disorders including cardiac arrest, pre- and post-operative assessments and kidney

failure.

Short CV: His research focuses on how different regions of the brain are involved in motor control

and learning. He has developed a robotic device called KINARM that can both sense and perturb

planar arm movements. One of his research labs examines neural activity in different brain regions

of non-human primates during motor behavior. A second lab explores human motor performance

and learning. A third lab located at St. Mary’s of the Lake Hospital is used to quantify sensorimotor

impairments in stroke and other neurological disorders.
