Directions to Falk Workshop |
|
The following information is requested of participants, in preparation for the Workshop. Please submit your response as an email to jack.winters@marquette.edu by Tuesday October 30:
-
Summarize your research/clinical interests in 4-5 sentences, and/or give us your web page or a recent abstract that's been published. [Required for external consultants who are receiving funding, encouraged for all external/internal participants. This information will be placed temporarily on the Web. The idea is for participants to get a quick sense, prior to the Workshop, of what others are doing.]
-
Given the current "challenging" clinical environment for the rehab field, what do you see as the overriding clinical needs and/or barriers to be overcome, especially as related to optimizing patient/client outcomes? Can advances in neurorehab assessment tools and/or movement therapy strategies help address these needs/barriers? Give 2-6 bullets, and be as specific as possible. [We have a special interest in responses from clinicians!]
-
What do you see as our key gaps in knowledge, as related to neurorehab principles and processes, that should be high priority for current and future scientific research? Give 2-6 bullets.
-
Thinking about 5 years into the future, what emerging rehab technologies most excite you and are worth R&D investment, and why? [Such technologies might be used for neurorehab assessment and/or movement therapy, and in settings that might range from inpatient/outpatient to home/mobile. Think outside the box. You might give special consideration to technologies that integrate across conventional intervention strategies (e.g., both automated and hands-on therapy; both drug and movement therapy, perhaps with remote assessment).]

What would you like to get out of this Workshop?
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey!
Note: If you're wondering how this information will be used, the answer is that it will be compiled and summarized prior to the Workshop, and then be available to start the breakout group discussions. This will allow these breakouts to be more effective, given the limited time that is allocated. The end result of the Workshop will be a report that will be published on the Falk web site, similar to that from the 1999 NSF-FDA Workshop on Home Care Technologies for the 21st Century (located at www.eng.mu.edu/wintersj/HCTWorkshop/ or www.hctr.be.cua.edu/HCTWorkshop) -- only a bit shorter! A bound version will also be available. We are also looking to publish the Workshop outcomes in 1-2 papers (in a rehab engng journal), highlighting both the upper- and lower-extremity findings.
