Robotic Device for physical therapy
Robotic Device for physical therapy
During my doctoral dissertation and my post doctoral work, significant part of my efforts were spent in the development of a robotic device for the physical therapy of wrist and hand function. WristBot, is a robotic medical device developed by an international group of engineers and researchers in University of Minnesota, USA, Italian Institute of Technology, Italy and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Clinical trial on spasmodic dysphonia
Clinical trial on spasmodic dysphonia
In my current role as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Minnesota, I lead the investigation on systematically evaluating the long term effects of laryngeal vibration in Spasmodic Dysphonia. Laryngeal vibration is a form of non-invasive neuromodulation technique developed in Human Sensorimotor Contro Laboratory. Participants in this research study will undergo about 8 weeks long in-home training. We assess the research participants for their voice quality and monitor the corresponding neurophysiological changes in the brain using electroencephalography in the laboratory at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the in-home training. Findings from the study will provide evidences for applying this therapeutic approach and promote the development of wearable devices that would enlarge the available therapeutic arsenal for people with Spasmodic Dysphonia.
More details about this clinical trial funded by National Institutes of Health can be found here.
