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
Targeted Muscle Reinnervation: A Neural Interface for Artificial Limbs
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
Application of Targeted Reinnervation for People With Transradial Amputation
We will quantify the effect of TMR on persons with below-elbow (transradial) 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
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
COMPLETE: Monitoring 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.
