Neuroplasticity
In the Neuroplasticity laboratory, we are interested in examining the changes in neuroplasticity that follow neurocognitive and neurostimulation-based interventions in both healthy individuals and those with brain injuries.
Research Project
Neurostimulation
The Neurostimulation laboratory is currently pursuing multiple studies using various neurostimulation techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and high-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS).

Normative Database of Oxygen Consumption
The Shirley Ryan Abilitylab Motion Analysis Center (MAC) is conducting a research study to establish a normative database of the oxygen consumed by individuals who are normal that can be used to contrast the performance of patients with walking deficits.
Research Project
Stiff Knee Gait and Rectus Transfer
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of the hip power in 3D Gait Analysis to select a set of preoperative gait features that distinguished between good (i.e., no longer stiff) and poor (i.e., remaining stiff) postoperative outcomes after rectus transfer surgery in children with Cerebral Palsy.

Foot Pressure and Force Trajectory Changes Resulting from the Dwyer Procedure
To evaluate the Dwyer procedure we will assess the changes in foot pressure distribution and center of force (COF) trajectory of patients who had gait analysis done at the Motion Analysis Center.
Research Project
Efficacy of the Calcaneal-Cuboid-Cuneiform Osteotomy Procedure
The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the 3C procedure by using foot pressure distribution parameters to compare changes in pre- and post-operative COF trajectory and PP in the surgical region.
