We investigate muscle fiber and tendon properties in neurological impairments and sports-related injuries.

We study muscle stem cells in impaired musculoskeletal growth and muscle metabolism in children with cerebral palsy.

This lab uses a combination of molecular, biochemical, and electrophysiological assays to study axon regeneration and motor neuron disease with a priority on human preclinical models such as iPSC-neurons.

This lab is for the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) on Employment for People with Physical Disabilities.

Over the last several years, we have been developing protocols to enhance the activity of residual sensorimotor pathways in individuals who suffered from spinal cord injury (SCI). We are happy to communicate that we are starting Phase IV of our protocol and we are actively enrolling participants who want to join us in Chicago.

Our goal is to improve the function and quality of life for individuals with limb loss and other physical impairments.

We use biomechanics as a framework for investigating how we move and control our arms and hands following injuries and impairments.

The goal of our research is to understand the underlying neurophysiological and biomechanical mechanisms responsible for walking abnormalities.

Our laboratory uses neural prosthetics to improve both our understanding of brain function as well as restoring movement and communication.

This lab offers this sophisticated gait assessment through the use of specialized cameras, computer technology captures and measures muscle activity.
