Tresch Neuromechanics Lab
We study the strategies underlying the neural control of movement, examining how neural control interacts with the mechanical properties of the body.
Lab
The ARMS Lab
We use biomechanics as a framework for investigating how we move and control our arms and hands following injuries and impairments.
Lab
Slutzky Neuroprosthetics Laboratory
Our laboratory uses neural prosthetics to improve both our understanding of brain function as well as restoring movement and communication.

Research Project
COMPLETE: Implementing a Robotic Hip Assist-based Mobility Intervention for Older Adults with Frailty
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using a Samsung robotic hip assist-based mobility intervention for older adults with frailty. The study outcomes include changes to gait function, with secondary measures of health, quality of life and community mobility.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Locomotor function following transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation in individuals with hemiplegic stroke
This study aims to determine whether transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation combined with ambulation training improves: 1. Locomotion function 2. Gait symmetry and efficiency 3. Standing posture and balance in individuals with hemiplegic stroke.
Research Project
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.
