A TECNALIA researcher is recognised by the “springer thesis”, for her dissertation based on a new approach to patient rehabilitation

With the title ‘Neuro-fuzzy Modelling of Multi-field Surface Neuroprostheses for Hand Grasping’, Eukene Imatz's thesis presents a new approach to reduce the discomfort in the upper limb during rehabilitation for people with neurological impairments, using innovative rehabilitation technology based on functional electrical stimulation (FES) to allow the activation of paralysed nerves and muscles.

It is an innovative smart system with multiple field electrodes that allows to apply functional electrical stimulation to the patient’s upper limb.

Every year the ‘Springer Thesis’ publishes a selection of the best doctoral dissertations from around the world, to offer young scientists the opportunity to write and publish their own book through an international publisher, while gaining global recognition for their research.
