Not Finding What You're Looking For?
Community Mobility after Stroke Using Smartphones
Phones are a highly functional wearable sensor. This project looks at data gathered from the phone while those who have survived stroke carry a phone daily.
Research Project
Contributions of Shortening/Lengthening Responses to Multi-Joint Stretch Reflex Response in Able-Bodied Individuals
Research Project
Improving Control of Robotic Hand Prostheses
This project uses a computer algorithm that can learn patterns and determine what movement the user intends to make. The user can thus control the prosthesis.
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.
Research Project
Effect of acute intermittent hypoxia on upper limb function in individuals with spinal cord injury
This study will help create a framework for the development of practical techniques to harness beneficial neuroplasticity in individuals with SCI.
Research Project
Evaluation of a Lightweight Powered Leg
The goal of this project is to develop a lightweight motorized leg and to evaluate this device in elderly persons with above-knee amputations.
