Neural Control of Movement Satellite Meeting

Join us April 20th for the NCM Satellite Meeting “Precision neurorehabilitation for movement disorders: Integrating technology, neuroscience, and clinical practice”. The Satellite meeting will be held at the Portopia Hotel in advance of the annual Society for the Neural Control of Movement Meeting.

Precision neurorehabilitation for movement disorders: Integrating technology, neuroscience, and clinical practice

 

The satellite is organized by:

Lee E. Miller, Northwestern University
James Cotton, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab


Join us for a groundbreaking satellite meeting, “Precision Neurorehabilitation for Movement Disorders: Integrating Technology, Neuroscience, and Clinical Practice,” preceding the 2026 Neural Control Movement Society meeting in Kobe, Japan, from April 20-24. This meeting will explore the profound revolution in neurorehabilitation over the past decade, driven by advancements in electrical modulation of the nervous system to drive plasticity, machine learning, scalable and accessible motion capture, and a growing emphasis on “precision rehabilitation.” The day will feature three major themes: Gait and Mobility, Upper Extremity Function, and Speech and Communication, with presenters highlighting the technical, neuroscientific, and clinical components central to the meeting.

The program will also include a poster session and a moderated wrap up session to synthesize key insights across these critical areas.  Further details regarding poster submission process will be shared in the coming months.
