Today we had six poster presentations and one podium presentation at the Annual Utah Biomedical Engineering Conference! We had presentations from:

  • Marshall Trout (FIRST-PLACE PODIUM PRESENTATION!): Improved Mirror-Therapy: Reanimation of Fine Motor Function Using Low-Cost Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Driven by Synchronized Bilateral Movements
  • Caleb Thomson (FIRST-PLACE POSTER PRESENTATION!): Proportional Electromyographic Control of a Bionic Arm in a Participant with Chronic Hemiparesis, Muscle Spasticity, and Impaired Range of Motion
  • Monika Buczak: Instrumented Egg: Developing a Quantitative Assessment Tool of Hand Dexterity
  • Connor Olsen: Electromyographically Controlled Prosthetic Wrist Improves Dexterity and Reduces Compensatory Movements
  • Abby Citterman (THIRD-PLACE POSTER PRESENTATION!): A Universal, Low-Cost Transradial Socket for Validating New Myoelectric Prosthetic Control Strategies
  • Aidan Lethaby: A Low-Cost Portable and Intuitive Control System for Assistive Robotic Devices
  • Abby Harrison: Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation of the Wrist Evokes Sensations from the Fingers
