OCC1 623: Assistive technology

Current research: 

  • motor control, robotics, technology, virtual reality, wheelchair mobility

Prof Archambault's research focuses on the use of technology for the rehabilitation of physical disabilities through participatory research. Specifically, he is involved in the development and testing of virtual reality applications for the use of assistive mobility devices (wheelchairs, scooters, etc.). This simulator works on a standard computer, is low-cost, so that it can be used at home or in a clinical setting. Past research has shown that participants can improve their power wheelchair skills with practice in the virtual reality simulator. Ongoing work is looking at the development of simulators for manual wheelchair skills and for electric, four-wheel scooter skills. Prof Archambault also co-directs the , a province-wide ant intersectoral research network aiming to improve the social inclusion of persons with disabilities through participatory approaches. His research is carried out at the Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital.

Biography: 

Prof Philippe Archambault holds undergraduate degrees in physics and in occupational therapy from 捆绑SM社区. He then pursued graduate work in neuroscience at Universit茅 de Montr茅al, where he studied the control and the coordination of arm movements by the nervous system. After postdoctoral work at the University of Rome (Italy) he started in 2006 an appointment at the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy, 捆绑SM社区.
