Knee Osteoarthritis
Learn more about our projects and focus on assisting sports injury and biological markers for knee joint distress.
Research Project
Adaptive Sports Research
We are investigating physical activity and common injuries in individuals playing adaptive sports.
Research Project
Outcomes of Musculoskeletal Treatments
Our work in this area focuses on outlining factors that maybe related to the outcome of musculoskeletal procedures or treatments for degenerative musculoskeletal conditions.
Research Project
Physical Activity Engagement
Our goal is also to understand factors that maybe related to individual engagement in physical activity and how that changes in certain conditions e.g. lung cancer diagnosis or mitigation strategies of COVID-19.

Employment Among Persons with Disabilities: Job Numbers, Job Quality, and Job Crafting NIDLRR Invited Lectureship by Debra Brucker
Dr. Brucker presented her research on job quality among workers with disabilities, as well as preliminary results from a study testing the effectiveness of an intervention designed to support workers with physical and mild cognitive disabilities.
Research Project
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.
Research Project
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.
Research Project
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.
Research Project
Intuitively Controlled Virtual Reality System to Treat Phantom Limb Pain
We will develop a commercially viable VR rehabilitation system (called the Coapt PLP Management System) which can be deployed at home or in-clinic for individuals with upper or lower limb amputations.
Research Project
Clinical Trial: Intuitive Control of a Hybrid Prosthetic Leg During Ambulation
A lightweight powered prosthesis with a safe, intuitive control system.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Sensor Technologies Applied to Rehabilitation in Stroke
Our research program focuses on the pivotal role of clinicians and therapists in implementing routine rehabilitation care, and on enhancing their capacity to provide evidence-based, individualized, and precise therapy.
Research Project
Promoting Patient-Centered Care through use of Standardized Assessments
KT DRRP is a grant supported research project involving a cooperative of research scientists and researchers joined for the advancement of science.
