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.

Ryan's Story: Surviving a Stroke at 20
Ryan suffered a stroke when he was just 20. After months of therapy, he has made an incredible recovery. He has learned to walk and improved hand function.
Patient Story
An Exploration of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia as a tool to Enhance Neural Recovery in Stroke Survivors; a pilot safety study.
This is a Phase I safety study. Our plan consists of dose-escalation exposures with continual assessment of hypoxic conditioning impact in individuals with chronic stroke.
Clinical Trial
Walk This Way to Post-Stroke Recovery
The primary PTs refer patients to gait therapy if walking goals are indicated, usually soon after completion of an initial evaluation.

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
Safety, Reliability, and Efficacy of the Harmony SHR Upper Extremity Robotic Rehabilitation System in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Setting for Patients with Acute Stroke
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, reliability, and effectiveness of the use of Harmony SHR in rehabilitation of the upper extremities in the inpatient stroke population as compared to conventional occupational therapy.
