Technology Development
We aim to combine clinical observations and lab research to improve understanding of technology embedded into the medical setting and ultimately impacting care.
Research Project

Muscle Injury and Repair
Defining the relationships between muscle injury and muscle repair.
Research Project

Intraoperative Hand Measurements
Restoring function and correcting joint deformities.
Research Project

Exploring Sex Effects in Rehabilitation Medicine
Recent trials support the therapeutic utility of rTMS where a hyperexcitable unlesioned motor cortex can be targeted with slow frequency stimulation.
Research Project

Computational and Mathematical Modeling of Human Knee Joints
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgeries, employing a total of 48 models, were conducted by virtually removing the ACL and then modeling the surgical preparation, tunnel architecture, graft pre-tensioning and fixation angle of a bone-patellar-tendon-bone autograft.
Research Project

Untangling of Lower Limb Synergies Post Stroke
Growing evidence demonstrates unique synergistic signatures in the lower limb (LL) post-stroke, with specific across-plane and across-joint representations. While the inhibitory role of the ipsilateral hemisphere in the upper limb (UL) has been widely reported, examination of the contralesional hemisphere (CON-H) in modulating LL expressions of synergies following stroke is lacking.
Research Project

Tracking spasticity in acute stroke
The proposed experiments use well-defined protocols with minimal risk from chronic stroke survivor research to test the monosynaptic reflex and TVR responses. We also gather clinical data in the acute and chronic stroke survivors.
Research Project

Evaluating the Use of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia to Improve Symptoms in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis
This pilot study (akin to our SCI pilot) evaluates if AIH will augment motor function in the lower limbs of PwMS.
Research Project

HANDS: A Multi-Center Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Intermittent Hypoxia Therapy in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
This study investigates the effectiveness of daily acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (dAIH), coupled with a massed practice intervention or the use of high repetition training with the Rapael Glove, to improve upper-extremity function in individuals with chronic incomplete cervical SCI.
Research Project

Characterization of serum biomarkers in individuals with SCI receiving Acute Intermittent Hypoxia
We seek to quantify the serum inflammatory markers in individuals with SCI, and correlate inflammation with responsiveness to AIH therapy.
Research Project
The effect of botox on the hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex in spasticity
The objective of this study is to measure the electrical activity of single muscle fibers and to determine how this electrical activity changes after botulinum toxin injections.
Research Project

Sensitivity of Simulated Grip Strength to Wrist Posture: Poster Presentation
This poster presentation is in virtual attendance to the American Society of Biomechanics conference in 2020
