Outcomes of Musculoskeletal Treatments
Our work in this area focuses on outlining factors that maybe related to the outcome of musculoskeletal?procedures or treatments for degenerative musculoskeletal conditions.
Research Project

Physical Activity Engagement
Our goal is also to understand factors that maybe related to individual engagement in physical activity and how that changes in certain conditions e.g. lung cancer diagnosis or mitigation strategies of COVID-19.

COMPLETE: Locomotor Function Following Acute Intermittent Hypoxia and Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to determine if acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) during ambulation training improves locomotor function in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Research Project

Locomotor Function Following Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Individuals with Hemiplegic Stroke
Despite advances in stroke rehabilitation, more than two-thirds of the 7 million stroke survivors in the U.S. still struggle to walk independently in their communities. Most current therapies focus on stimulating the brain areas that control leg movement, yet many stroke survivors continue to face issues like poor coordination, spasticity, and muscle weakness. We propose a different approach—using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to improve walking after stroke.
Research Project

Bilateral Priming for Upper Extremity Hemiparesis
The purpose of the study is to determine the best treatment for the arm that has been affected by a stroke. The investigators plan to determine if the arm affected by a stroke will improve with a combination of motor priming and motor training.
Research Project

Functional Connectivity in the Upper Limb for Individuals Post-Stroke
This project focuses on the neuroplastic mechanisms that enable some people with stroke to regain high quality control of their paretic arm post-stroke.
Research Project

COMPLETE: Validation of a Movement Health Smartphone Application
The purpose of this study is to validate this Movement Health application using advanced wearable sensors and a sequence of standardized clinical assessments.
Research Project
