Evaluation of a Lightweight Powered Leg
The goal of this project is to develop a lightweight motorized leg and to evaluate this device in elderly persons with above-knee amputations.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Project
COMPLETE: Novel Body-Powered Prosthetic Hand
This project's goal was to evaluate the clinical utility of a prosthetic hand by objectively quantifying whether people choose both modes while in their home.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Project
Effect of acute intermittent hypoxia on upper limb function in individuals with spinal cord injury
This study will help create a framework for the development of practical techniques to harness beneficial neuroplasticity in individuals with SCI.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Project
Relationship Between Intramuscular Pressure and Muscle Force
We are developing a minimally invasive tool to measure muscle force using fiber optics.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Project
Intraoperative Sarcomere Length Measurements
We have found that spastic muscle, although having a normal stretch reflex, has a significantly higher intrinsic muscle stiffness compared to control muscle.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Project
Motor Impairment Related Changes in Muscles Properties in Chronic Stroke
Interested in understanding if the chronic neural impairments & disuse of the upper limb associated with hemiparetic stroke lead to changes in muscle structure
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Project
Altering Activation Patterns in the Distal Upper Extremity After Stroke
This study evaluates a rehab approach for stroke survivors where the combination of drug therapy & AMP is used to encourage voluntary muscle control & strength.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Project
COMPLETE: Manual Standing Wheelchair
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵers at the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ have designed the first-ever manual standing wheelchair that allows users to be mobile in both sitting and standing modes.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Project
Application of Targeted Reinnervation for People With Transradial Amputation
We will quantify the effect of TMR on persons with below-elbow (transradial) amputation.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Project
COMPLETE: Targeted Muscle Reinnervation: A Neural Interface for Artificial Limbs
During TMSKR nerves in an amputee¡¯s residual arm are transferred to target muscles that no longer perform a useful function because of the amputation.
