We study the strategies underlying the neural control of movement, examining how neural control interacts with the mechanical properties of the body.

We investigate muscle fiber and tendon properties in neurological impairments and sports-related injuries.

We study muscle stem cells in impaired musculoskeletal growth and muscle metabolism in children with cerebral palsy.

C-STAR or Center for Smart Use of Technologies to Assess Real-World Outcomes brings together the expertise, instruction, and mentoring to support the greater rehabilitation community with the meaningful use of technology to advance clinical outcomes.

Our research is mainly 4 main categories: knee osteoarthritis, adaptive sports, physical activity related studies and outcomes of musculoskeletal treatments.

Our lab investigates and promotes various methods of neural priming for neurorehabilitation in individuals with severe upper limb hemiparesis.

Our lab studies the physiologic mechanisms that lead to change in physical or cognitive function for patients with cancer. In particular, we are currently focused on cachexia syndrome, a muscle wasting disorder that affects a majority of patients with cancer, along with many other chronic disease.

We use biomechanics as a framework for investigating how we move and control our arms and hands following injuries and impairments.

We develop and execute industry-sponsored research in prosthetics, orthotics, rehabilitation robotics, and adaptive technologies.

Our research focuses on developing neural control systems for upper and lower prosthetics.

The Robotics Lab's research is aimed at understanding the sensory-motor system through close interaction with artificial systems & how the brain executes motor behaviors.
