Prof. Wang was invited to give a speech on "Non-invasive brain stimulation for stroke" in the 14th International Neuromodulation Society (INS) Congress 2019 in Sydney, Australia. The INS has been devoted in promoting research and clinical application of neuromodulation and Prof. Wang was invited to talk about the use of NIBS from a physical therapy perspective.

Our PhD students Pei-Hsin Ku, Pei-Ling Wong and MS graduate Nai-Chen Yeh participated the 14th International Neuromodulation Society (INS) Congress, 2019 in Sydney, Australia. They have presented 3 different topics in the congress. Cheers for the good work!

​

• The effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on lower limb motor area in stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis (Pei-Hsin)

• Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation followed by upper body exercise on neuropathic pain in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (Nai-Chen)

• Establishing the optimum tDCS application on dual task gait performance - exploration of people with chronic stroke (Pei-Ling)

Wen-Chi and Hsiang-Tsen, our MS students, have participated in the thesis contest today. Wen-Chi has presented the research topic on "Gait Alteration and Brain Activation During Cognitive and Motor Dual Task Walking in Prefrail Older Adults." Hsiang-Tsen's topic was "Effects of dual task training on dual task gait performance in elderly with mild cognitive impairment."

​

Congrats on Wen-Chi for getting second place!!

We are honored to have Dr. Hsieh today for a special talk on his career and research. Dr. Hsieh is a physiotherapist and has completed his PhD in biomedical engineering in National Cheng Kung University. As a physiotherapist with biomedical engineering expertise, he well combined clinical treatment and neurophysiological mechanisms together in his research.

​

Today, he shared his recent research on brain stimulation using animal models. He has covered a wide range of pathologies, including Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and etc. Dr. Hsieh related his work to the research topics of our lab, taking us from bench to bed, and kindly shared many ideas.  We also enjoyed his stories and experience from working with different professions. Thank you Dr. Hsieh!
