Therapeutic Electrical Stimulation to Accelerate Diaphragm Muscle Reinnervation after Phrenic Neuropathy (1R01NS136683-01)
Read Regenerative Neurorehabilitation Laboratory's research proposal that aims to enhance recovery from this condition through a novel Therapeutic Electrical Stimulation protocol, in conjunction with a custom-made, wireless, bioresorbable implant.
Research Project
Serum metabolomics in individuals with cerebral palsy
Learn about the Pediatric Muscle Physiology Lab's research project and their interest in how systemic metabolomics, for example in serum is altered in people with cerebral palsy and how it is related to their capacity for movement.
Research Project
Muscle stem cell characteristics in children with cerebral palsy
Our lab is interested in how their abundance and characteristics are related to muscle growth across different muscles in children with cerebral palsy.
Research Project
Muscle mitochondrial function in children with cerebral palsy
Our lab uses a number of biological methods to assess mitochondrial characteristics in muscles. The goal is to understand how alterations in mitochondrial biogenesis might lead to impaired muscle growth in children with cerebral palsy.
Research Project
Biomarkers for Recovery Following Spinal Cord Injury
The Translational Biomedicine Lab is proud to collaborate with Dr. Monica Perez and her Team on a clinical study focused on spinal cord injury (SCI) within the Spinal Cord Injury Model System.
Research Project
Characterization and Clinical Trial of a Variable Friction Shoe, a new Paradigm of Reduced-Constraint Locomotor Therapy for People Exhibiting Foot Drop due to Stroke
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the Variable Friction shoe on gait in individuals with chronic stroke and foot drop. During each 12-week phase of an AB-BA clinical trial, participants will walk for at least 30-45 minutes per day for at least 5 days per week at home.
