Clinical Implementation of a Robotics Program Into a Rehabilitation Continuum
Organizer: Trent Maruyama
Speakers: Trent Maruyama, Jeremy Palmiscno
Attendees Engagement:
We will be providing a interactive didactic workshop where we will be showing some videos of the programs and explaining our program to participants. We want to encourage this interactive session to include questions about how we set this up and providing consultation to help others implement a similar program at their facility through discussion and brainstorming sessions. We plan to have a device to demonstrate and show the utility of the devices and how to manipulate the condition of observation to meet the needs of the patient. We use this in the student and open gym programs to serve a wider variety of our patient population. Here we will show that there is more potential of the device other than the defined use cases suggested by the company by adapting the tool/environment to fit the needs of the patient. Some of this may be off label but a benefit for the patient.

1- the attendees write on (real and web) sticky notes some potential solutions (e.g., adopting mixed reality exergames in rehabilitation) to the problems discussed by the speakers about patients' engagement
2- the moderator and the speakers regroup the sticky notes on the blackboard/wall in terms of similarity, identifying a set of technological domains
3- the attendees and the speakers are invited to assess how much each domain is promising in their own fields
4- he speakers are invited to comment the group assessment of each domain and to discuss how advantageous and challenging it could be (the attendees can ask questions after each round on a topic during this last phase).

The discussion will continue after the event (until the end of RehabWeek 2022) on an online blackboard reporting all clusters.

We will organize discussion rounds combining speakers from different fields (industry, clinical, academia/research). Bringing together all stakeholders is crucial to further develop the field and really bring the technology to people.
Technology showcase
We will showcase real exoskeleton prototypes and related technologies, e.g., wearable sensors. We will set up different desks, one per demonstrator. Workshop participants will be able to move freely across desks and try the different technologies. Each booth will also host some explanatory posters giving more info on the demonstrated technology.

Attendees Engagement:
We will engage the attendees by motivating them to freely ask questions not only after but also during the provided lectures. This will foster direct interaction between attendees and the experts. As explained earlier in the form, in the second session we will provide live demos to facilitate an in depth discussion on the topics. The attendees will be divided in 3 to 5 groups that will visit each demonstration booth in rounds. Attendees will get the chance to try out by themselves some of the technologies presented including real-time sensory-feedback as well as real-time musculoskeletal modeling. Attendees will be asked to provide insights and open questions regarding what they have seen during the lectures and DEMOs. The questions will be noted, summarized and discussed during the panel discussion at the end of the session. This will allow attendees to leave the workshop with a broader view of the topic, especially considering the future challenges that need to be addressed to achieve clinical impact and successful technology transfer. We trust that this will have an impact on their future research and promote new ideas and innovations in the field.

Can the Collaboration Between Engineers and Clinicians Enhance the Objectiveness, Sensitivity and Reproducibility of Clinical Functional Assessment Methods?
Organizer: Clara (Beatriz) Sanz-Morere
Co-organizer: David Rodriguez-Cianca
Speakers: Diego Torricelli, Jesus Tornero, Erik Prinsen, Natacha Leon

2-The EUROBENCH benchmarking concept
3-The vision of the CCN regarding the integration of new technologies in standard patient care.

Afterwards, attendees will be asked to gather into small groups to share their opinions and start a guided short discussion on the open issues raised by the speakers. At the end of the discussion, each group should come up with a list of proposals for integrating technologies into standard patient care and a list of questions and conflict points. The workshop will end up with an open debate between an expert panel and the audience to address these questions.
Prior to the start of the RehabWeek, we will share a survey in the workshop webpage where potential attendees will be asked about their background, attitude towards the topics of the workshop and specific questions for the experts in order to facilitate the discussion sessions.
The workshop will be advertised through several channels: first, we will advertise it through a website that will be created in case of workshop acceptance. Second, we will promote it through our social media accounts and mailing lists aiming at reaching a wide and multidisciplinary audience that includes a balanced number of engineers and clinicians.
