1649765 - BonatoThe proposed workshop will bring together experts in the field of pediatric rehabilitation to discuss the development of new technologies aimed to improve the effectiveness of clinical interventions. Pediatric rehabilitation could be made significantly more effective if appropriate technology was made available to clinical teams. The workshop is expected to contribute to improving the outcomes of clinical interventions in children with motor and cognitive impairments. Hence, the workshop will contribute to advancing the health of many individuals in the US and worldwide. The discussions that will take place during the workshop will be summarized in a manuscript that will be made available to the public at large.Technology plays a significant role in rehabilitation. However, the literature shows a disproportionate number of studies in adults compared to the few studies devoted to the use of technology in pediatric populations. This is surprising because researchers have typically achieved very encouraging results when applying technology to facilitate the implementation of rehabilitation interventions in pediatric populations. These considerations provide motivation to the proposed workshop entitled "Can Technology Make a Difference in Pediatric Rehabilitation"? This rhetorical question emphasizes the need for fostering research at the intersection of engineering, computer science, and rehabilitation with focus on pediatric interventions. The proposed workshop will bring together top-notch researchers in North America who have significant experience in the development and use of technology for pediatric rehabilitation. The workshop will be organized in four sessions entitled: 1) Identifying Clinical Needs and Developing Technologies; 2) New Frontiers in Rehabilitation Robotics; 3) Measuring and Modeling to Design Better Interventions; and 4) Technologies to Enable New Interventions. The workshop will result in a position paper that will be published in an open access journal. The manuscript will identify areas of research that have potential for achieving significant impact in the field of pediatric rehabilitation. The workshop is expected to have an impact on the development of future research in pediatric rehabilitation. Ultimately, we anticipate that research inspired by the discussions that will take place during the proposed workshop will provide individuals with disability with tremendous long-term benefits. The preparation of the workshop will include a graduate student and a pre-medical summer intern. The preparation of the workshop will provide them with a unique training opportunity. Both these students will be directly involved in planning the workshop and coordinating all related activities. The graduate student will also contribute to the preparation of the manuscript that will be generated on the basis of the presentations and discussions that will take place during the workshop. Additionally, the workshop will be video casted and archived. Hence, it will be available to the public at large.

1649765 -Bonatothe提议的研讨会将在儿科康复领域汇集专家，以讨论旨在提高临床干预措施有效性的新技术的开发。如果为临床团队提供适当的技术，小儿康复可以使小儿康复更加有效。预计该研讨会有助于改善运动和认知障碍儿童的临床干预措施的结果。因此，研讨会将有助于促进美国和全球许多人的健康。在研讨会期间将进行的讨论将在一份手稿中汇总，该手稿将在整个公众中提供。技术在康复中起着重要作用。但是，与少数专门用于在小儿种群中使用技术的研究相比，成人的研究数量不成比例。这是令人惊讶的，因为在应用技术来促进小儿种群中的康复干预措施时，研究人员通常取得了非常令人鼓舞的结果。这些考虑因素为题为“技术可以改变小儿康复能够改变”的拟议研讨会提供了动力？这个言辞问题强调了在工程，计算机科学和康复与小儿干预措施的交集中需要培养研究的必要性。拟议的研讨会将汇集北美的一流研究人员，他们在开发和使用小儿康复方面具有丰富的经验。研讨会将在四个题为：1）确定临床需求和发展技术的四个会议上组织； 2）康复机器人技术的新边界； 3）测量和建模以设计更好的干预措施； 4）技术可以实现新的干预措施。该研讨会将导致将在开放式访问期刊上发表的职位论文。手稿将确定具有在小儿康复领域产生重大影响的研究领域。预计该研讨会将影响小儿康复未来研究的发展。最终，我们预计，受提议研讨会期间将要进行的讨论启发的研究将为残疾人带来巨大的长期利益。研讨会的准备将包括研究生和医学前暑期实习生。研讨会的准备将为他们提供独特的培训机会。这两个学生将直接参与计划研讨会并协调所有相关活动。研究生还将为手稿的准备做出贡献，这些手稿将根据讲习班期间的演讲和讨论产生。此外，研讨会将进行视频和存档。因此，它将向整个公众提供。
