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.

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

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

We research implementation science methodology to study best ways to translate findings of exercise research studies into the real-world clinical & community.

Our research focuses on developing neural control systems for upper and lower prosthetics.

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.

The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab & Northwestern Memorial (known as the Midwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury Care System) has been chosen by NIDILRR as one of 14 SCI Model System Centers.

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

This lab offers this sophisticated gait assessment through the use of specialized cameras, computer technology captures and measures muscle activity.

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