Title: Novel Technologies for Quantifying Motor-Neurorehabilitation
 
Abstract: Changes in population demographics have led to more people 
aging into and with disability, placing an increasing burden on society. 
Unfortunately, there is a lack of evidence explaining determinants of 
outcomes after treatments for disabling diseases. For instance, after a 
stroke, it remains unknown how a person's physical state interacts with 
rehabilitation practice variables to determine the efficacy of the 
intervention.  The targeted use of assistive technologies with disabled 
populations is key to bridging this knowledge gap, but will require: 
technical expertise to develop computational tools to help researchers 
interpret clinically relevant physiological data; and a practical 
understanding of the needs of end users (patients and clinicians) 
necessary to translate research outcomes to practice. Guided by these 
requirements, I have taken a computationally grounded approach to 
monitoring and intervening in the recovery process for people with 
disabilities. This talk will focus on the application of wearable 
sensing and robotic technologies to address unsolved problems in motor 
rehabilitation.
 
Biography: Dr. Eric Wade is an NIH supported T32 postdoctoral fellow at 
the University of Southern California (USC). In this capacity, he is a 
member of the Motor Behavior and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory, of the 
Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy, and is also a member of 
the Interaction Laboratory in the Department of Computer Science. He 
received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from MIT in 2007, where he 
also received a dual MS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 
(EECS) and ME in 2004, and a BS in ME in 2000. His research interests 
include wearable health monitoring, robotics, and motor-neurorehabilitation.
