Novel Body-Powered Prosthetic Hand
This project's goal was to evaluate the clinical utility of a prosthetic hand by objectively quantifying whether people choose both modes while in their home.
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.
Research Project
Targeted Muscle Reinnervation
During TMR nerves in an amputee’s residual arm are transferred to target muscles that no longer perform a useful function because of the amputation.
Research Project
Targeted Reinnervation for Below-Elbow Amputation
We will quantify the effect of TMR on persons with below-elbow amputation
Research Project
Manual Standing Wheelchair
Researchers at the AbilityLab have designed the first-ever manual standing wheelchair that allows users to be mobile in both sitting and standing modes.
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
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
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
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.
