Skeletal Muscle Design in Animals and People
The purpose of skeletal muscle is to produce force and, ultimately, movement. As such, this highly specialized tissue has been studied extensively by bioengineers.
Research Project
Technology Development
As medical technology continues to advance, the field of rehabilitation must recognize opportunities for integration to improve the standards of patient care. We aim to combine clinical observations and laboratory research to improve our understanding of how technology is embedded into the medical setting and ultimately impact care.

Exploring Sex Effects in Rehabilitation Medicine
Recent clinical trials support the therapeutic utility of rTMS for a variety of disorders, including stroke, where a hyperexcitable unlesioned motor cortex can be targeted with slow frequency stimulation (1 Hz rTMS) (see Ref. [1] for review).

The Effect of Powered-Knee Exoskeleton Assist on Stair Climbing in Acute CVA
To determine if using an exoskeleton with powered-assist for knee extension and flexion during stair training for individuals affected by acute cerebrovascular accident (CVA) will result in improved functional mobility outcomes as compared to traditional stair training.
Target Population:
Individuals 18 years or older with acute stroke
Must be in-patient at SRALab with a therapeutic goal of climbing stairs
No other neuropathology diagnosis

Effect of a robotic exoskeleton with functional electrical stimulation on neural recovery in individuals with acute spinal cord injury
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of mobility training using the Ekso robotic exoskeleton with functional electrical stimulation (FES) on neural recovery in individuals with acute spinal cord injury. Individuals receive both an intervention period and control period, allowing us to analyze the influence of the training performed early or later in acute rehabilitation phase on muscle properties, neural recovery and function.
