First Workshop of MYOREHAB Consortium at IBERDISCAP 2023

First Workshop of
MYOREHAB Consortium at
IBERDISCAP 2023

About MYOREHAB

MYOREHAB

Monitoring and delivering personalized hand neurorehabilitation through virtual activities controlled by the neural drive – is an international consortium of European and Latin-American Universities funded within the 4th EU-LAC Joint Call in STI 2022. The aim is to establish a research network between the research groups from Spain, Germany, Brazil, and Panama, with focus on addressing how motor rehabilitation could take advantage of cutting-edge technologies, such as high-density electromyography (HD EMG), virtual reality, and machine learning algorithms in a personalized way and considering the variability of motor diseases and specific geographical conditions.

Workshop Aims

The two-day workshop will be the first annual meeting of the MYOREHAB project. The decision of making the workshop within the IBERDISCAP 2023 is to disseminate technical aspects of the project (not only the scientific discoveries) to a broader and qualified audience. Program includes talks on core topics of the project and technical hands-on sessions to train attendees in using and designing new technologies through the methods employed by the MYOREHAB team.
