Project Corbett Ryan intervention is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a one-year long, evidence- and clinical experience-based intervention to improve motor function and reduce the severity of motor delays in infants who have been admitted to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, reliability, and effectiveness of the use of Harmony SHR in rehabilitation of the upper extremities in the inpatient stroke population as compared to conventional occupational therapy.

This research project will look at the use of mobile cognitive assessments (MCAs) as complementary tools to traditional neuropsychological assessments with the potential to change the way research is conducted for persons after stroke and, ultimately, others with neurological conditions.

In this Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) Site Specific Project, our research team will conduct a proof-of-concept project in which we use Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) design to test an intervention to enhance adherence to exercise guidelines in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) by using smartphone technology, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) monitoring, and e-coaching.

We believe that EMR can be adapted successfully and that the manual and materials can be customized for use in inpatient SCI units. We anticipate that EMR will bring better experiences and outcomes to patients. Patients will engage more and put more effort into therapy, and they will have more positive changes in daily function, mood, and satisfaction than the SOC group.

This project aims to assess the potential of spasticity and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as biomarkers of neurologic and functional recovery in patients with subacute spinal cord injury (SCI).

The Midwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury Care System (MRSCICS) at Shirley Ryan ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ is a leading center for innovative, integrated, interdisciplinary research and care for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and is one of the original five NIDILRR-designated Model System Spinal Cord Injury Centers (in partnership with Northwestern University and Northwestern Memorial Hospital).

Refining a mobile technology-based intervention called the interactive Self Management Augmented by Rehabilitation Technologies (iSMART) for people who experience a stroke.

The long-term objective of this proposal is to develop an effective stem cell-mediated therapy to ameliorate age-related deterioration of neuromuscular function.

We are conducting a study to determine the helpfulness, feasibility, and effectiveness of using a Remote Therapeutic Monitoring system to help physical therapists assess their patient¡¯s adherence to their prescribed physical activity and exercise plans over the course of six months.
