Extra congratulations go out to Ishika for being awarded the Certificate of Excellence for Outstanding Poster Presentation as well as for winning a two minute research pitch competition. Great job, Ishika!
At the recent Integrated Health Research Training Partnership (IHRTP) Graduate Student Research Day, graduate student Ishika Sharma won first place for her poster presentation, “Devising a modified flanker task for assessment of attention after stroke”.
Several of our graduate students will be attending the CIHR Young Investigators Forum for the Institute for Circulatory and Respiratory Health in Edmonton from May 26-28. The following students received travel awards and will be presenting posters:
Ross Story
Alicia Gionfriddo
Ishika Sharma
Sarah Kraeutner
Congratulations to former MSc student Alana Fleet on her second publication from her work in the lab. Her paper, “Modified constraint-induced movement therapy for upper extremity recovery post stroke: What is the evidence?” will be published in Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation later this year.
Research focusing on the application of real-time neurofeedback was featured on the front page of Halifax’s Chronicle Herald recently (March 25th) as well as on CTV News Live at 5. Access the story here and video clip here.
Lab Director Dr. Shaun Boe and graduate student Ron Bishop were recently featured in a TEDxNovaScotia promotional video for this year’s conference, “Chances Worth Taking: Innovation in a Time of Indifference” along with other innovators from Nova Scotia. Watch the video here!
The lab received great news as Lab Director, Dr. Shaun Boe was recently awarded $56 000 in funding from the Centre for Stroke Recovery for his grant, “Exploring the brain-muscle link: a combined central and peripheral approach to understanding and promoting functional recovery after stroke.” Congratulations!
Lab members Alana Fleet and Marion Che are published authors! Their manuscript examining how constraint induced movement therapy is used by occupational and physical therapists in Canada was recently accepted for publication in Physiotherapy Canada. Stay tuned to the ‘publications’ section of the website for the full text of the manuscript.
Congratulations Alana and Marion!
At the recent rehabilitation research day at the Nova Scotia Rehabilitation Centre, lab members Alana Fleet and Marion Che won first prize for their poster presentation Examining utilization of constraint induced movement therapy in Canadian Occupational and Physical Therapy.
Research in the laboratory examining recovery after stroke was a focus of BioNova’s Fall 2011 e-newsletter that promotes neuroscience in Nova Scotia. Available here in PDF format. [924 KB]
