4th Symposium on Motor Control in Biomechanics at ISEK 2016

[Paola Contessa]

We would like to remind you that the 4^th Symposium on Motor Control in Biomechanics will be held in Chicago (USA) on July 5^th 2016, on the pre-conference day of the XXI Congress of the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology (ISEK).

Date, Time and Venue: Tuesday July 5^th 2016, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM. XXI ISEK Meeting, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Chicago, IL (USA)

Opening: Carlo J. De Luca (Boston University and Delsys Inc., USA)

Invited Speakers:

• Dr. Joshua C. Kline (Delsys Inc., USA). The empirically unsupported practice of estimating common synaptic inputs
• Prof. Andrea D’Avella (University of Messina and Santa Lucia Foundation, Italy). Muscle synergies: biomechanical epiphenomenon or neural control strategy?
• Prof. Paul Hodges (University of Queensland, Australia). Probing muscle coordination with electromyography: Lessons from adaptation to pain
• Prof. Patrick E. Crago (Case Western Reserve University, USA). Augmenting voluntary reach and grasp in stroke survivors by functional electrical stimulation

Registration and Fee: Please visit the ISEK website for registration information (see Workshop 1B).

Who Should Attend: Researchers and students with an interest in Biomechanics and Motor Control should attend. Participants will have the opportunity to discover the latest developments in these fields and discuss with experienced investigators.
