Using Sensors and EMG Biofeedback to Increase Upper Limb Voluntary Output after Stroke or SCI
We combine sensors with fun, interactive computer games in order to strengthen arm muscles after stroke or SCI! Free program offered by the Perez Lab.
Research Project
Spasticity Assessments Research Project
The purpose of the study was to examine the contribution of passive muscle stiffness and active spinal reflex mechanisms to clinical outcomes of spasticity after SCI.
Research Project
Intracortical Inhibition in Humans with Spinal Cord Injury
This study investigates the intracortical inhibition in humans with cervical spinal cord injury. We particularly aim to understand the inhibitory mechanism for the control of upper arm muscles to further promote rehabilitation protocol.
Research Project
Wearable Sensor to Monitor and Track COVID-19-Like Signs and Symptoms
This study will evaluate use of wearable sensors to gather information on COVID-19 like signs and symptoms.
Research Project
Workshop on Job Accommodations Video Series
On Oct. 29th, 2019, Shirley Ryan AbilityLab's Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research (CROR) invited job seekers with disabilities and employers to attend an all-day, interactive workshop on job accommodations.
Research Project
Improving Arm Movement After Stroke Using Wearable Device
The Slutzky Neuroprosthetics Lab Team is evaluating a new rehab therapy using wearable devices and a video game interface to improve arm movement after stroke.
Research Project
Communication Building with Brain-Machine Interface
BMIs have been able to restore basic communication by allowing patients to slowly spell out individual letters by decoding particular signals, most commonly evoked potentials in response to some stimulus.
Research Project
Brain-Machine Interfacing for Hand and Arm Movement
The ultimate goal of this project is to restore hand and arm function to people with paralysis from neurological disorders. Brain machine interfaces - BMIs, which decode electrical signals recorded from the brain, offer one way to bypass the area causing paralysis and intuitively reanimate paralyzed muscles via electrical stimulation.
Research Project
A Pilot Investigation to Determine if Pathogens are Present on Gel Liners Worn by Amputees
This project will explore the correlation of potentially harmful bacteria to various liner conditions such as age of the liner, material properties, and patient hygiene practices.
Research Project
Join the CHAT - A Community of Hand Ability Training
The Perez Lab team exclusively offers FREE hand training for ANYONE with a neurological condition that affects the function of their hands, including but not limited to: Spinal Cord Injury (Any level), Stroke, MS, Parkinson's, ALS, etc. We use a combination of games, cutting-edge robotics, sensors, and upper body exercises to help people improve the function of their hands in terms of pinching, grasping, and dexterity. Come by any time 8:30AM-4PM Monday-Friday and meet us!
Research Project
Neuromodulation Study
Participate in a novel research study at the Shirley Ryan Abilitylab to improve the function of your muscles after a spinal cord injury.
Research Project
Vibration For Muscle Spasms
This study will use closed-loop control of tendon vibration to implement clinically meaningful management of muscle spasms, and to understand how spinal circuits responsible for spasm generation change in response to vibration
