Monthly Rehabilitation Roundup (October 2018)

Rehabilitation Roundup for October 2018

Greetings!

It's nice to be back! Our first speaker is our own Dr. Liberty Hamilton on October 19th. It's a longer period to give our speaker some more time as well as ample time for interactive discussion. We'll have some nice refreshments there.

Through Mechanical Engineering, I'm hosting a rehabilitation robotics speaker, Jim Schmiedeler, on 10/12.

Are you a clinician or a person with an injury that limits your abilities who wants to get involved in CARE but can't make it to campus? Please contact me.

Best,

James Sulzer

Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering
