Improving Control of Robotic Hand Prostheses
This project uses a computer algorithm that can learn patterns and determine what movement the user intends to make. The user can thus control the prosthesis.
Research Project
Intramuscular EMG Signal Processing
Our objective is to develop new implanted EMG systems to expand the algorithms used to extract information, improve performance and make configuration easier.
Research Project
Chronic Pain Programs
We have designed intensive, interdisciplinary programs to help you get your body and mind back on track so you can return to your life.
