Modeling effects of common genetic polymorphisms on peripheral nerve injury recovery
Every year, over 200,000 Americans sustain a peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Although peripheral nerves have the ability to spontaneously regenerate, 90% of PNI patients do not regain full motor function. Despite ongoing research, the main treatment for peripheral nerve injury—surgery— continues to be performed without the assistance of any medication or other therapies to enhance the rate of axon regrowth.

Electrical stimulation and Botox combination therapy to enhance peripheral nerve regeneration after injury
This project combines two treatments for advancement in peripheral nerve injury to regenerate damaged tissues with Botox and eSTIM.

Real Time Control of a Powered Prosthetic Leg Using Implanted EMG Signals with Sensory Feedback
We will conduct a first-in-human clinical trial to evaluate the effect of incorporating intramuscular EMG signals (obtained using a fully wireless implantable system), compared to surface EMG signals, on function ambulation and non-weight-bearing control of a powered leg prosthesis.

Overcoming A Frozen Shoulder: What to know about this common diagnosis
Typically affecting people between the ages of 40 and 60, "frozen shoulder" is a condition marked by stiffness of the shoulder joint capsule, a bag-like structure that surrounds the ball and socket of the shoulder joint. When the capsule becomes stiff, it severely limits shoulder motion.
