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.

Over the last several years, we have been developing protocols to enhance the activity of residual sensorimotor pathways in individuals who suffered from spinal cord injury (SCI). We are happy to communicate that we are starting Phase IV of our protocol and we are actively enrolling participants. Led by P.I. Monica Perez

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

We incorporate robotics autonomy and intelligence into assistive machines to support people with motor impairments.

The Shirley Ryan ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ & 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.

The Center for Aphasia ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ & Treatment was created in 2001 to respond to the challenge of living with aphasia.

This lab uses a combination of molecular, biochemical, and electrophysiological assays to study axon regeneration and motor neuron disease with a priority on human preclinical models such as iPSC-neurons.

Scientists at Shirley Ryan ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ are leading the charge to develop better fall-detection models and advance fall-mitigation technologies, such as wearable airbags for individuals at high-risk of falling.
