The Technology & Innovation Hub (tiHUB) seeks to revolutionize rehabilitation care by enabling the creation and adoption of new technologies for our patients. Working with commercial and academic collaborators, we help design, develop and deploy creative solutions to enhance human ability in the clinic and in the community.

Despite advances in stroke rehabilitation, more than two-thirds of the 7 million stroke survivors in the U.S. still struggle to walk independently in their communities. Most current therapies focus on stimulating the brain areas that control leg movement, yet many stroke survivors continue to face issues like poor coordination, spasticity, and muscle weakness. We propose a different approach¡ªusing electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to improve walking after stroke.
