With the rapid advancement of technology, occupational therapists now and in the future will use advanced equipment to make therapists more effective in their treatment or training. There are two categories of these advanced technology products &#8211; therapists recommend users to use assistive tools to address clients\u2019 difficulties in daily functioning and enhance their participation in self-care, work and leisure activities, or as a piece of training device in their treatments. In this presentation, Kenneth Fong will present translational research in assistive technology with few examples from mirror neurons to the use of prognostic neurophysiological biomarkers and ambient motion capturing in motor rehabilitation as well as potential use in future brain-computer interface system and explain how these devices are of great clinical benefit to our clients such as patients in the ageing population.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-747d997e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"747d997e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-11e483ac\" data-id=\"11e483ac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2873c26e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2873c26e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Speaker Profile:<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kenneth Fong is Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), currently the coordinator of assistive technology laboratory in Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, management committee member of the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of Things (RIAIoT) in PolyU, chairman of the University Ethics Committee, programme leader of BSc(Hons) in Occupational Therapy, and Editor-in-Chief, Hong Kong Journal of Occupational Therapy.
