EPIC Lab

Located in the Health Sciences Centre Rehabilitation Hospital, the EPIC lab is part of the College of Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Manitoba. The 1,000 square foot lab has space for mobility-based data collection, private assessment areas and equipment for a standard wheelchair skills test and training.

Telerehabilitation and interactive exercise gaming system

College of Rehabilitation Sciences researchers have designed, produced and extensively field tested a novel, universal gaming interface device with technology that uses miniature commercial motion or pressure sensors. These sensors enable a user to play any commercial therapeutic, or educational video game or virtual reality application. Using this system, practitioners can provide positive feedback and an enjoyable experience, motivating the client to continue and complete the rehabilitation process.

SLIC-neuro

The University of Manitoba Student-Led Interprofessional Neuro Clinic (SLIC-neuro) is located at Riverview Health Centre on the 4th floor of the Princess Elizabeth Building and is open annually from April – June. SLIC-neuro offers evidence-informed, goal-oriented, task-based, short term intensive therapy treatment for adults with neurological conditions.

VR-powered full body exercise system

Researchers at the College of Rehabilitation Sciences have developed a virtual reality-powered full body exercise system allowing to program remote therapeutic activities and measure the progress online. 

Innovative spaces for hands-on learning

The College of Rehabilitation Sciences offers several newly designed teaching and learning spaces. These modern classrooms feature state-of-the-art technology that fosters interactive, hands-on education and collaboration among students and faculty.

Multi-user virtual smart suite

Researchers at the College of Rehabilitation Sciences have developed a multi-user virtual smart suite as a clone of the UM smart suite. Smart Suite is a replica of living quarters that is equipped with mHealth tools and platforms to monitor the activities of its occupants. Backed by a telemedicine infrastructure, the Smart Suite will include such enhancements as Doppler radar, smart floor mats and motion sensors designed to detect time, location and frequency of movement and certain activities like going to the bathroom, bathing, opening the refrigerator, washing hands and resting in bed or on the living room couch.
