Quantification of cortical proprioceptive processing through a wireless and miniaturized EEG amplifier.
Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) is computed between limb kinematics and cortical activity (e.g. MEG, EEG), and it can be used to detect, quantify and localize the cortical processing of proprioceptive afference arising from the body. EEG-based studies on CKC have been limited to lab environments due to bulky, non-portable instrumentations. We recently proposed a wireless and miniaturized EEG acquisition system aimed at enabling EEG studies outside the laboratory. The purpose of this work is to compare the EEG-based CKC values obtained with this device with a conventional wired-EEG acquisition system to validate its use in the quantification of cortical proprioceptive processing.

P 042 - Gait complexity quantified using inertial measurement units in children with cerebral palsy
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have various gait impairments, and consequently their gait is less stable compared to typically developed (TD) controls. Gait kinematics are also affected more in CP than TD by concurrent dual and cognitive tasks. Inertial measurement units (IMU) provide efficient tool to quantify gait stability, but the practical value of IMU based gait assessment has not been tested in children with CP. nonPeerReviewed
