HMVC brings together scientists and clinicians focused on understanding variability in human movement and its implications for health, rehabilitation, and performance. It was a great opportunity to present our work on <strong>wearable haptic feedback systems for gait training</strong> and to engage in discussions with leading experts about their latest advances in the field.</p> <p>Alongside the conference, we had the chance to tour the state-of-the-art facilities at the <strong>University of Nebraska at Omaha, Department of Biomechanics</strong>, which are among the best in the US. The lab features advanced equipment including a six-degree-of-freedom treadmill with an immersive virtual reality environment for movement analysis research.</p> <p> <figure > <div class="flex justify-center "> <div class="w-full" > <img alt="My podium presentation" srcset="https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/my-presentation_hu_4580d5aab555fb11.webp 320w, https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/my-presentation_hu_69bbf73a40d027f5.webp 480w, https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/my-presentation_hu_9b2c00ce50b2bb5d.webp 760w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 90vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, 760px" src="https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/my-presentation_hu_4580d5aab555fb11.webp" width="760" height="570" loading="lazy" data-zoomable /></div> </div></figure> </p> <p> <figure > <div class="flex justify-center "> <div class="w-full" > <img alt="6-DOF treadmill with immersive VR environment at UNO Biomechanics Lab" srcset="https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/treadmill-6dof_hu_47a2e8b713a1da7c.webp 320w, https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/treadmill-6dof_hu_2b29146559c00716.webp 480w, https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/treadmill-6dof_hu_e87e5d441c27214f.webp 519w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 90vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, 760px" src="https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/treadmill-6dof_hu_47a2e8b713a1da7c.webp" width="519" height="760" loading="lazy" data-zoomable /></div> </div></figure> </p> <p> <figure > <div class="flex justify-center "> <div class="w-full" > <img alt="Omaha, NE at night" srcset="https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/omaha-night-1_hu_97af577cc2a3ec0a.webp 320w, https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/omaha-night-1_hu_a8559894bd100bfd.webp 480w, https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/omaha-night-1_hu_b5359f7c7727d0cb.webp 570w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 90vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, 760px" src="https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/omaha-night-1_hu_97af577cc2a3ec0a.webp" width="570" height="760" loading="lazy" data-zoomable /></div> </div></figure> <figure > <div class="flex justify-center "> <div class="w-full" > <img alt="Omaha, NE at night" srcset="https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/omaha-night-2_hu_a5958ac7ceba5b3c.webp 320w, https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/omaha-night-2_hu_ce1a8ab7058af61a.webp 480w, https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/omaha-night-2_hu_1a6c654f3a4a83d9.webp 570w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 90vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, 760px" src="https://ehsansharafian.com/events/omaha-2026/omaha-night-2_hu_a5958ac7ceba5b3c.webp" width="570" height="760" loading="lazy" data-zoomable /></div> </div></figure> </p>
