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
Neuromuscular Control Lab
Our lab is focused on the mechanisms underlying the multijoint control of movement and posture in able-bodied individuals and in individuals with neuromotor pathologies. Specifically, we are interested in understanding the relative contributions of intrinsic muscle properties, limb geometry and neural activation in the control of whole limb function.
Lab
Lokomat Gait Training
Providing Lokomat therapy to improve ability to walk after disability caused by brain/spinal cord injuries, stroke, or neurological and orthopedic conditions.
Service
Translational Biomedicine Lab
Our research group specializes in utilizing techniques from molecular and cell biology, genetics, and various experimental models. Our focus is on identifying new biomarkers and potential molecules to support rehabilitation in patients with neurological and neuromuscular conditions.

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
Hand Rehabilitation Lab
The primary goal our research is to develop new techniques and devices to facilitate functional use of the hand after stroke. Toward this end we are investigating the underlying sensorimotor control of the hand, the changes that occur after stroke, and the factors that influence rehabilitation.
Lab
Motor Impairment Related Changes in Muscles Properties in Chronic Stroke
Interested in understanding if the chronic neural impairments & disuse of the upper limb associated with hemiparetic stroke lead to changes in muscle structure
Research Project
Rehabilitation Neurology Motor Priming Lab
Our lab investigates and promotes various methods of neural priming for neurorehabilitation in individuals with severe upper limb hemiparesis.
