Wearable Robotics for Fall Prevention
We will develop a portable device that is easy to wear and does not interfere with a patient’s gait, unless when necessary to prevent a fall.
Research Project
Sensor Technology Applied in Rehabilitation for Stroke (STARS)
The goal of the STARS project is to develop machine-learning algorithms that quantify impairments and function that impact gait and balance, using datasets obtained from advanced wearable sensors in individuals with stroke.

COMPLETE: Safety and Efficacy of Samsung GEMS-H Device Training in Sub-Acute and Chronic Stroke
The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of gait training with the Samsung
GEMS-H device on walking, balance, nervous system activity, and quality of life in individuals with sub-acute and chronic stroke.

Research Project
Implementation of Evidenced Based-Interventions during Inpatient Rehabilitation to Improve Mobility, Health and Participation
Most patients with stroke or ABI can recover some gait function (80-95%), but only 25% of those with SCI (50% motor incomplete) walk independently.
Research Project
Multimodal Haptic Feedback for Plantar Sensory Substitution
Plantar sensation is crucial for gait, balance, and posture, and its loss contributes to movement disorders in conditions like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, stroke, and spinal cord injury. Current diagnostic methods use pressure sensor arrays to assess gait deficiencies, with wireless insole technology extending data collection beyond clinical settings. Building on these advances, we are investigating sensory substitution as a potential solution to restore lost plantar sensation and improve outcomes for affected individuals.
