Building Advanced Cerebral Palsy Assistive Care Solutions (BACPACS) Center

Smart Ankle-Foot Orthosis and Potential Muscle Growth Drug for Gait

In this project, we will determine the benefits of an at-home training protocol utilizing a smart ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) on walking outcomes in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Spinal Stimulation and Potential Muscle Growth Drug for Movement Training

In this project, we will test if a type of gentle electrical stimulation to the spine, called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS), can help improve movement, walking, balance, and muscle control in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Markerless Motion Capture for Spasticity Management

In this project, we will extend our markerless motion capture (MMC) system to children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Pediatric Modular Exoskeleton for Gait

In this project, we will design and development an assistive exoskeleton to address gait impairments in children with cerebral palsy (CP) that will be adaptable to their growth and changing needs.
