Error augmentation in 2 and 3 dimesions
Rather than helping someone move, we rely on the aspects of neuroplasticity in the brain to facilitate learning to move, or re-learning after an injury.
Research Project
A comparison of two surgical procedures that restore elbow extension
We want to understand what factors predictably separate the surgical outcomes of different tendon transfers that restore function after spinal cord injury.
Research Project
How do wrist surgical salvage procedures limit hand strength?
Our project hypothesizes that surgical re-design of the wrist in proximal row carpectomy and scaphoid-excision four-corner fusion limits hand strength post-op.
Research Project
Prosthesis control by forward dynamic simulation of the intact biomedical system
Our project aims to deliver a real-time simulator of complex, multi-degree hand motions, and link it to hardware to control multi-function artificial hands.
Research Project
Stability and mobility in subjects with Parkinson’s disease while using a Segway
The objective of this study is to investigate balance, stability, and mobility while using a Segway device.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Walking Improvement for the Spinal Cord Injured with Exoskeleton: New Technology
This study aims to compare exoskeleton gait training with standard gait training in incomplete spinal cord injury.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Environmental Imaging and Control for Exoskeletons: New Technology
The purpose of this study is to develop an environmental Imaging and Control for Exoskeletons to Improve Safety and Mobility.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Andago® Body Weight Supported Gait Training Feasibility
The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of the Andago® gait training device (Hocoma AG, Switzerland) applied during clinical inpatient rehabilitation.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Development of a 3D Imaging and Classification System for Exoskeleton Systems
The purpose of this study was to develop a 3D Imaging and Classification System for Exoskeleton Systems.
Research Project
COMPLETE: LifeWalker® Upright Laboratory-Based Research Study
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of the LifeWalker Upright (Model J100) versus a standard rollator and predicate assistive device on gait function in adults using a walker with or without back pain.
Research Project
Skeletal Muscle Design in Animals and People
Purpose of skeletal muscle is to produce force and, ultimately, movement. As such, this highly specialized tissue has been studied extensively by bioengineers.
Research Project
Technology Development
We aim to combine clinical observations and lab research to improve understanding of technology embedded into the medical setting and ultimately impacting care.
