Not Finding What You're Looking For?
Locomotor function following transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation in individuals with hemiplegic stroke
This study is looking for persons who have had a stroke to determine if spinal stimulation helps improve walking ability.
Age Range
18-99
Clinical Trial
Aphasia Trajectory Research Study
This study aims to recognize, identify, and evaluate the trajectory recovery and abilities of a person who has had a stroke and living with cognitive-communication challenges and their respective quality of life.
Research Project
Brain-Machine Interfacing for Hand and Arm Movement
The ultimate goal of this project is to restore hand and arm function to people with paralysis from neurological disorders. Brain machine interfaces - BMIs, which decode electrical signals recorded from the brain, offer one way to bypass the area causing paralysis and intuitively reanimate paralyzed muscles via electrical stimulation.
Research Project
Improving Arm Movement Using Wearable Device After Stroke
Shirley Ryan AbilityLab is evaluating a new rehab therapy using wearable devices and a video game interface to improve arm movement after stroke. Participants use these wearable devices, called myoelectric computer interfaces, to play video games using their arm muscles.
Age Range
At least 18 years old
Clinical Trial
COMPLETE: Wearable Sensor Platform to Monitor Stroke Recovery
This project proposes continuous monitoring, quantification, and interpretation of recovery during inpatient treatment of stroke using non-invasive, portable, real-time body-worn sensors.
Research Project
Tracking the evolution of spasticity in acute stroke
This study will measure arm muscle weakness and spinal cord changes following post stroke.
Age Range
Adults (> 18)
Clinical Trial
Can H-Reflex down conditioning reduce spasticity in stroke survivors?
The purpose of this study is to study the effects of reflex training as a new intervention to help with spasticity, a motor impairment that can occur during the recovery after a stroke.
Age Range
Adults (18-85)
Clinical Trial

The Influence of Stroke on Reciprocal Control of the Stretch Reflex During Posture
The purpose of this research study is to better understand how a stroke changes our muscles' ability to maintain postures.
Age Range
35 - 70
Clinical Trial
Collaborative Machines Enhancing Therapies (COMET)
The Collaborative Machines Enhancing Therapies center brings together four research and development projects aimed at improving how patients move.
Research Project
Real-Time Mobile Cognitive Assessments for Stroke Rehabilitation
This research project will look at the use of mobile cognitive assessments (MCAs) as complementary tools to traditional neuropsychological assessments with the potential to change the way research is conducted for persons after stroke and, ultimately, others with neurological conditions.
Research Project
Mobile Rehabilitation for Daily Life Participation Post-Stroke
The researchers will focus on variability in depressed mood and quality of life among stroke survivors, and social support, a protective factor with a potential buffering effect on daily function and mood.
