9319988 Peckham这项来自凯斯西储大学的建议请求部分支持，以举办一次题为神经假体：运动系统IV会议的研讨会。研讨会的重点是在开发恢复运动障碍患者功能的设备方面整合工程和临床专业知识；加快将神经假体从工程实验室转移到临床和制造业；以及教育年轻的研究人员。这次国际科学会议是每三年举行一次的系列会议中的第四次。将举行的会议包括用于下肢、上肢、膀胱和呼吸系统的神经假体；电极、导线和连接器；肌肉和肌肉特性；反馈控制策略；命令控制；以及技术转让。研讨会的主讲人是运动控制神经假体领域的世界领先者。从国家科学基金申请的资金将为受邀与会者提供部分支持。研讨会参与者将提交四篇论文供同行评议的期刊发表，从而使研讨会成果能够向广大观众提供。***

9319988 Peckham This proposal from Case Western Reserve University requests partial support to conduct a symposium entitled Neural Prostheses: Motor Systems IV Conference. The symposium focuses on integration of engineering and clinical expertise in developing devices that restore function for individuals with motor impairments; to expedite the transference of neural prostheses from the engineering laboratory to the clinic and manufacturing industry; and to educate young researchers. The international scientific meeting is the fourth in a series of conferences held every three years. Sessions to be held include neural prostheses for lower extremity, upper extremity, bladder, and respiratory; electrodes, leads, and connectors; muscle and muscle properties; feedback control strategies; command control; and technology transfer. Presenter participants in the symposium are world leaders in neural prostheses for motor control. Funding requested from the NSF would provide partial support for invited participants. Four papers will be submitted for peer reviewed journal publication by symposium participants, thereby making symposium results available to a large audience. ***
