A poster entitled "A Novel Dynamic Neck Brace for ALS Patients: Characterizing EMGs during Synchronized Neck Motion" was presented at 28th International Symposium on ALS/MND in Boston during Dec 8-10

The paper described movement and muscle characteristics of 10 ALS patients and 10 age-matched healthy subjects. This data was collected at Eleanor and Lou Gehrig ALS center at Columbia University using the novel neck brace designed at ROAR laboratory. Other studies are also being currently performed using this neck brace at Helen Hayes Medical Center in New York.
