Research Project
The effect of botox on the hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex in spasticity
The objective of this study is to measure the electrical activity of single muscle fibers and to determine how this electrical activity changes after botulinum toxin injections.
Research Project
Characterization of serum biomarkers in individuals with SCI receiving Acute Intermittent Hypoxia
We seek to quantify the serum inflammatory markers in individuals with SCI, and correlate inflammation with responsiveness to AIH therapy.
Research Project
HANDS: A Multi-Center Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Intermittent Hypoxia Therapy in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
This study investigates the effectiveness of daily acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (dAIH), coupled with a massed practice intervention or the use of high repetition training with the Rapael Glove, to improve upper-extremity function in individuals with chronic incomplete cervical SCI.
Research Project
Evaluating the Use of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia to Improve Symptoms in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis
This pilot study (akin to our SCI pilot) evaluates if AIH will augment motor function in the lower limbs of PwMS.
Research Project
Tracking spasticity in acute stroke
The proposed experiments use well-defined protocols with minimal risk from chronic stroke survivor research to test the monosynaptic reflex and TVR responses. We also gather clinical data in the acute and chronic stroke survivors.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Prosthetic Research Residency Program
All Prosthetics Residencies offered through AbilityLab Prosthetics & Orthotics Center are now 18-month combined Clinical & Research residencies.
Research Project
Perspectives and Preferences for Weight Management after Spinal Cord Injury
Weight Management Study aims to gather perspective of people with SCI, caregivers & professionals pertaining to weight management to create an educational tool.
Research Project
Clinical Evidence for Supported Spinal Curves in Wheelchair Seating: A Randomized Comparison
A Randomized Comparison testing the efficacy of back support designed to maintain spinal alignment for persons with SCI sitting in an ultralight wheelchair.
Research Project
Characterizing the Experience of Spasticity after Spinal Cord Injury
This research used an online survey to help researchers understand how spasticity affects daily life and functioning of people with spinal cord injury (SCI).
