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¡ªusing electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to improve walking after stroke.

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.

In this study, we aim to verify the safety and validate the usability of the Honda Walking Assist (HWA) device in the home setting.

Dr. Brucker presented her research on job quality among workers with disabilities, as well as preliminary results from a study testing the effectiveness of an intervention designed to support workers with physical and mild cognitive disabilities.

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.

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

The purpose of this study is to learn how to incorporate digital health technology into the early intervention physical therapy clinic for people with Parkinson's disease.

The goal of the proposed study is to examine the neuromuscular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effect of hippotherapy and determine whether repeated exposure to a pelvic perturbation force would be effective in improving trunk postural control and gait of children with cerebral palsy.
