ISPRM Conference 2024

In June, Justin and Vincent travelled to Sydney to attend ISPRM. ISPRM is the yearly world congress of the International Society of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Medicine which we were fortunate to have in Sydney.

This was a great opportunity to discover the work of many teams in the field and to connect with the physio and rehab community that we work closely with in multiple projects in the lab. While an international conference, being in Sydney allowed us to meet and attend talks by many Australian researchers. The rehab robotics and technology community was particularly well represented with multiple dedicated sessions. Not surprisingly, while many researchers presented interesting developments in the field and implementations of technology, we could hear the need for dedicated guidelines around this implementation.

While our team presented two posters at the conference, Justin also presented his work on the evaluation of his GAMD: the Gait Aid Measurement Device intended to evaluate people’s gait without the use of expensive and complex motion capture systems.
