SUMMARY:Dr. José Zariffa - Measuring Upper Limb Function in the Community Using Novel Wearable Technology
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAfter cervical SCI\, a key objective is to maximize the functional use of the upper limb in activities of daily living (ADL). Currently\, we lack the ability to directly measure how a person uses their upper limb to perform ADLs once they have been discharged to the community. Doing so would be of great benefit in gauging the true impact of rehabilitation interventions. This talk will give an overview of our laboratory’s work in developing wearable technology capable of measuring how individuals with cervical SCI are using their hands outside of a laboratory or clinical environment. Our approach is based on the use of wearable cameras that record the user’s point of view (egocentric video). Work on quantifying both the quantity and quality of hand use will be discussed\, as well as the privacy considerations associated with the use of wearable cameras. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. José Zariffa is a Scientist at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – University Health Network and an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto. \nDr. Zariffa received his Ph.D. degree in electrical and biomedical engineering from the University of Toronto. He then completed post-doctoral fellowships at the International Collaboration On Repair Discoveries (ICORD) in Vancouver\, Canada\, and at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute\, where he was supported by Spinal Cord Injury Ontario. \nHis research interests are in neuroprosthetics and technology for upper limb neurorehabilitation\, encompassing work in neural interfaces\, wearable sensors\, rehabilitation robotics\, and electrophysiology.
