Research Project
Powered Prosthetic Arm
The Center for Bionic Medicine designed a powered prosthetic arm that is specifically designed to be smaller and lighter than currently available prostheses.
Research Project
Intramuscular EMG Signal Processing
Our objective is to develop new implanted EMG systems to expand the algorithms used to extract information, improve performance and make configuration easier.
Research Project
Altering Activation Patterns in the Distal Upper Extremity After Stroke
This study evaluates a rehab approach for stroke survivors where the combination of drug therapy & AMP is used to encourage voluntary muscle control & strength.
Research Project
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
Intraoperative Sarcomere Length Measurements
We have found that spastic muscle, although having a normal stretch reflex, has a significantly higher intrinsic muscle stiffness compared to control muscle.
Research Project
Relationship Between Intramuscular Pressure and Muscle Force
We are developing a minimally invasive tool to measure muscle force using fiber optics.

Impact of Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis on Community Mobility and Social Interaction
Research Project
Muscle Impairment in Children with Cerebral Palsy: a Role for Muscle Stem Cell Dysfunction and Drug Repurposing
We investigate the role of specific muscle resident stem cells, called satellite cells, in the development of muscle contractures in cerebral palsy.
Research Project
Defining trajectories of linguistic, cognitive-communicative and quality of life outcomes in aphasia
Using certain characteristics as predictors, This study describes trajectories of linguistic, cognitive-communicative, and health-related QoL outcomes.
Research Project
Smart Wheelchair
We envision a future where autonomy options are available when being fit for a wheelchair, just like the variety of seating options are available today.
