Identification of sensory-motor control in reaching
Sensory inputs such as vision, proprioception, and touch play a crucial role in post-stroke recovery. Our research delves into how these sensory contributions can be assessed to develop effective, personalized therapy strategies. Enhancing and tailoring sensory inputs to an individual’s needs allows us to explore how learning outcomes can be improved and errors reduced. Through synthetic simulations that combine muscular, visual, and proprioceptive inputs, we aim to understand better the complex processes involved in motor learning.
Research Project
Help Us Learn About How You Use Your Arms In Daily Life
How does arm use in daily life change during the course of outpatient rehabilitation therapy? Data from wearable sensors and your feedback will help us learn how we can improve treatments to help people return to important daily activities.
Clinical Trial
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.
