C-STAR or Center for Smart Use of Technologies to Assess Real-World Outcomes brings together the expertise, instruction, and mentoring to support the greater rehabilitation community with the meaningful use of technology to advance clinical outcomes.

Our vision is to develop, evaluate, and translate transformative technology to advance human ability

Our research is mainly 4 main categories: knee osteoarthritis, adaptive sports, physical activity related studies and outcomes of musculoskeletal treatments.

Our lab investigates and promotes various methods of neural priming for neurorehabilitation in individuals with severe upper limb hemiparesis.

Our lab studies the physiologic mechanisms that lead to change in physical or cognitive function for patients with cancer. In particular, we are currently focused on cachexia syndrome, a muscle wasting disorder that affects a majority of patients with cancer, along with many other chronic disease.

We use biomechanics as a framework for investigating how we move and control our arms and hands following injuries and impairments.

At the Neurorehabilitation and Neural Engineering Laboratory, the goal of our research is to develop improved intervention strategies for gait rehabilitation. Led by P.I. Dr. Jose Pons PhD.

The Robotics Lab's research is aimed at understanding the sensory-motor system through close interaction with artificial systems & how the brain executes motor behaviors.

We develop and execute industry-sponsored research in prosthetics, orthotics, rehabilitation robotics, and adaptive technologies.

This lab focuses on outcome studies, measuring the long-term impact of medical rehabilitation in patients with disabilities.

The Center for Aphasia Research & Treatment was created in 2001 to respond to the challenge of living with aphasia.
