Engineering a Successful Stroke Recovery
When Igal survived a stroke he was told he would never walk or speak again, But this professor of biomedical engineering work hard through all levels of our unique - punctuated by our Intensive Aphasia Program - to regain his abilities.
Patient Story
A Life Regained Following Stroke
When Walter arrived he was paralyzed on the right side of his body. He arrived on a Saturday and by the following Tuesday, he took his first steps. Soon after, he began walking & didn’t stop.
Patient Story
Motor Impairment Related Changes in Muscles Properties in Chronic Stroke
We're interested in understanding whether the chronic neural impairments and disuse of the upper limb associated with hemiparetic stroke lead to changes in muscle structure that significantly change the muscle's ability to generate force, creating additional difficulties for use of the hand and arm.
