SNSF professorship of Dr. Laura Marchal-Crespo
The Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF awarded funding for the professorship of Dr. Laura Marchal-Crespo at the ARTORG Centre for Biomedical Engineering Research of the University of Bern and at the Division for Cognitive and Restorative Neurology of the University Hospital for Neurology, Inselspital.
Her research will focus on developing and testing new training regimes for existing therapeutic robots. These patient-specific strategies allow the therapeutic device to adapt the training difficulty to the needs of each patient. This is achieved by increasing or decreasing the error of movements in dependence of the abilities and age of the patient and the therapy regime. Laura Marchal-Crespo expects that the amplification of errors will motivate patients to further improve their movements in therapy.
