Description

Motivation and application domain
ehabilitation Robotics. Ergonomics. NeuroMechanics: Neural control of the hand, Forearm muscle fatigue and performance, Sensorimotor assessment of hand function

General objectives and main activities
The aim of the thesis is the development of a cognitive and physical loading paradigm to fatigue the neuromuscalar system and to develop sensorimotor evaluations of wrist function

Training Objectives (technical/analytical tools, experimental methodologies)
Programming of wrist robotic device for study design. Recruitment, data collection, processing and analysis. Integrating electromyography and other signals with robot.

Place(s) where the thesis work will be carried out: Brock University: Department of Kinesiology; Neuromechanics and Ergonomics Lab.
