A technical assistance consultation and help desk is available, to provide information and resources related to employment of people with physical disabilities, training, and outcome measures, to people with disabilities, service providers, consumer advocates, employers, researchers, educators, students, and clinicians.

The goal of this collaborative module was to obtain evidence that informs consumers, clinicians, insurers, and manufacturers about the utilization and cost-effectiveness of robotic exoskeletons in inpatient, outpatient, and community settings.

Lynn Johnson was a busy mother of two and a senior project manager when she was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson¡¯s disease in her 40s.

The goal of the prospective observational study is to gain insight into whether vocational rehabilitation (VR) counseling and other resources can help people with Parkinson¡¯s remain employed.

Aco is a research project coordinator at another major Chicago hospital, Shirley Ryan ÄÛBÑо¿Ôº where he is involved in several studies led by Miriam Rafferty, PT, DPT, PhD, a ÄÛBÑо¿Ôº Scientist and Director of Implementation Science.

The Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes ÄÛBÑо¿Ôº received 3 years of funding¡ªcovering April 2021 through April 2024¡ªfrom the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation. This project aims to support the mental health of persons living with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).

In this study, BQ 2.0 is intended to reduce disability in adult patients with subacute ischemic stroke, with a moderate to severe disability which includes an upper extremity motor impairment.

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.
