Altering Activation Patterns in the Distal Upper Extremity After Stroke
This study evaluates a rehab approach for stroke survivors where the combination of drug therapy & AMP is used to encourage voluntary muscle control & strength.
Research Project

Motor Impairment Related Changes in Muscles Properties in Chronic Stroke
Interested in understanding if the chronic neural impairments & disuse of the upper limb associated with hemiparetic stroke lead to changes in muscle structure
Research Project

Intraoperative Sarcomere Length Measurements
We have found that spastic muscle, although having a normal stretch reflex, has a significantly higher intrinsic muscle stiffness compared to control muscle.
Research Project

Relationship Between Intramuscular Pressure and Muscle Force
We are developing a minimally invasive tool to measure muscle force using fiber optics.
Research Project
Effect of acute intermittent hypoxia on upper limb function in individuals with spinal cord injury
This study will help create a framework for the development of practical techniques to harness beneficial neuroplasticity in individuals with SCI.
Research Project

COMPLETE: Novel Body-Powered Prosthetic Hand
This project's goal was to evaluate the clinical utility of a prosthetic hand by objectively quantifying whether people choose both modes while in their home.
Research Project

COMPLETE: Monitoring Community Mobility after Stroke using Smartphones
Phones are a highly functional wearable sensor. This project looks at data gathered from the phone while those who have survived stroke carry a phone daily.
Research Project

Contributions of Shortening/Lengthening Responses to Multi-Joint Stretch Reflex Response in Able-Bodied Individuals
Our research addresses the role of multijoint stretch reflexes in the control of posture and movement in unimpaired human subjects.
Research Project
Powered Prosthetic Arm
The Center for Bionic Medicine designed a powered prosthetic arm that?is specifically designed to be smaller and lighter than currently available prostheses.
Research Project
Advanced Control Systems for Powered Prosthetic Legs
Robotic powered prostheses have a number of built-in mechanical sensors that can gather information about the position, angle, and force exerted by the prosthetic joints.
