Breathing Low Oxygen to Enhance Spinal Stimulation Training and Functional Recovery in Persons with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury
Walking recovery is a key goal after spinal cord injury (SCI). While some patients experience spontaneous recovery due to preserved neural circuits, many struggle to achieve independent ambulation, and those who do often face persistent deficits. There is growing consensus that a single approach is insufficient to overcome these challenges, prompting the need for combined interventions.

Clinical Trial
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring for Exercise and Self-Efficacy Tracking
This study aims to understand if remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) is useful in tracking long term physical activity participation and improving self-efficacy and readiness for exercise. Participants will use their own wearable activity tracker.
Clinical Trial
Relationship Between Intramuscular Pressure and Muscle Force
We are developing a minimally invasive tool to measure muscle force using fiber optics.
