KINARM Camp 2018: A couple of spots still left!

Posted on Feb 1, 2018

We still have a couple of spots available for our 5th annual KINARM Camp. It will be held Monday, May 14 to Friday noon, May 18, 2018 in Kingston, Ontario.

The objective of the Camp is to provide focused training on Custom Task development for KINARM Labs. The five day agenda is tailored to Basic Researchers and will provide hands-on learning on the use of MATLAB Simulink and Stateflow to develop Custom Task Programs for the KINARM Lab. New users, graduate students, and post docs are all invited to attend. Clinical researchers with an interest in Custom Task development are also welcome.

The preliminary agenda can be viewed here: KINARM Camp 2018.DRAFT

Attendance is limited to 12 registrants, so please complete the registration form to hold your spot.

If you’re awaiting approvals, please complete the form nonetheless and note that your attendance is tentative.

RehabWeek 2017: Dr. Sean Dukelow speaks about his research with KINARM.

Posted on Jul 24, 2017

 

Dr Sean Dukelow, July 18, 2017 

Long-time KINARM Lab user, Dr. Sean Dukelow, spoke at the International Neurorehabilitation Symposium in London, UK last week.  INRS was one of four conferences that bound together for the biennial installment of RehabWeek.   In his session, he described his research related to identifying and quantifying neurological impairments from stroke, concussion, CP and other disorders.  He spoke of his long-term longitudinal study monitoring outcomes from over 100 subjects with stroke. Over the 6 month period he noted clear differences between early responders, late responders and non-responders. His results highlight the need for more sensitive, targeted identification of sensory and motor deficits to optimize rehabilitation after stroke. Further he has noted that the trajectory of recovery for some individuals with mild to moderate stroke may be much longer than previously considered. underlined the need for better characterization of impairments post stroke (Semrau, et al, 2015).

Semrau, J.A., Herter, T.M., Scott, S.H., Dukelow, S.P.  (2015) Examining Differences in Patterns of Sensory and Motor Recovery After Stroke With Robotics Stroke 2015 Dec; DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.115.010750

KINARM CAMP 2016 a Success! Watch for dates in 2017

Posted on Jun 15, 2016

KINARM CAMP 2016 Logo20160608_132846 20160608_092908 20160610_101330KINARM Camp was once again a resounding success.

The camp was held June 5 – 10 , 2016 in Kingston, Ontario on the beautiful campus of Queen’s University.

Over a period of 5 days, 12 Campers from 10 different sites, received in-depth training on Custom Task development for KINARM Labs.

 

Here’s what this year’s campers said about Camp:

“KINARM Camp helped me to achieve the right amount of programming freedom that I needed for my science!”
“I cannot think of a better way to learn how to use the KINARM than to attend KINARM camp. The trainers adjust their content and teaching on an individual basis, allowing both the total novice and the more advanced to walk away having learned something new and valuable. Thank you BKIN!”
“KINARM camp was definitely worth investment. The sessions were clear and had realistic aims for folks with minimal or considerable programming experience. The facilitators were also very helpful”.
“Because of KINARM Camp, my research prospect has a bigger and brighter future!”
“KINARM camp helped me to get started with and excited about something I never thought I could: programming in Matlab/Simulink. Thank you all so much!”
If you’re interested in our next Camp, send us a note at info@bkintechnologies.com

Neuroscience 2015: October 17-21, 2015, Chicago, Booth # 2073

Posted on Oct 7, 2015

Neuroscience 2015 is just around the corner so we thought we should give a sneak peak of what you might hear about if you visit our booth (#2073):

For KINARM Standard Tests, we are proud to say that an “overall” Task Score will be available for every Standard Task with the release of Dex 3.6.  The addition of a “global” score will greatly assist new and long-time users of KST to help them quickly answer the question: “Did my subject pass or fail the task?”  Have no fear, all the parameters and analysis are still there; nothing has been taken away.  We’ll be happy to share the “math” behind it (can you say “Mahalanobis”?) and we are eager to get your feedback.

Also new to KINARM Standard Tests with Dex 3.6 is the Spasticity and Tone Task.  Thanks to the hard work of our customers at Sunnybrook Research Institute, we think this new task for our Exoskeleton Lab users will be a massive improvement over the Modified Ashworth and Tardieu tests.  The task will be available for demonstration in our booth at Neuroscience. You can get a peak at the new report here: Spasticity and Tone Task

Lastly, we hope to see you at the Neurorehab Social being held at RIC which we are sponsoring again this year.  Further details are listed under the Satellite Events on the SfN website.

Hope to see you there!

Anne, Ian & Duncan
