What if you could grow back an amputated hand for pain relief?

Dr. Rui C.V. Loureiro, UCL Institute of Orthopaedics

For over two decades there has been a growing interest and activity to
explore the use of robots in the area of rehabilitation, where the
model is to incorporate robotic assistance designed to enhance
recovery following injury. In this model it is expected that the robot
will be made available possibly during the patient’s hospital stay or
in the months that follow.

This talk will look at new ways of using robots and games and will
demonstrate how strategies that aim to ‘trick’ the brain can have a
positive impact on the recovery of cognitive and physical injuries and
in reducing pain.

Thursday 27th February 2020 - 7:00pm for 7:30pm

Venue - Van Emden Theatre, Edith Morley, University of Reading RG6 6UR
