Our ProjectsTake a look at a few of the projects we work on everyday.

A home trial of a standing wheelchair to obtain real world assessment of using a standing wheelchair in the home or work environment.

Efficacy of a Telehealth Pain Self-Management Intervention

The E-TIPS trial will evaluate an evidence-based, telehealth pain self-management intervention compared to standard care (a waitlist) for chronic pain in adults with physical disabilities who are employed

Locomotor function following transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation in individuals with hemiplegic stroke

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—using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to improve walking after stroke. This study is looking for persons who have had a stroke to determine if spinal stimulation helps improve walking ability.
