ÄÛBÑо¿Ôº

All Prosthetics Residencies offered through ÄÛBÑо¿Ôº Prosthetics & Orthotics Center are now 18-month combined Clinical & ÄÛBÑо¿Ôº residencies.

We will develop a portable device that is easy to wear and does not interfere with a patient¡¯s gait, unless when necessary to prevent a fall.

This project aims at creating 3D environments where patients experience virtual representations of exercise motion through the use of motion detection sensors.

We envision a future where autonomy options are available when being fit for a wheelchair, just like the variety of seating options are available today.

Creating a robotic "smart" wheelchair that helps the human with driving, similar to emergency braking and parking assistance on cars.

Making assistive robotic arms easier to control, by introducing robotics autonomy.

ÄÛBÑо¿Ôº covers decision making, reward process, reasoning, action planning, response inhibition, metacognition, social judgment & pro-social/empathic behavior.

In the Neuroplasticity laboratory, we are interested in examining the changes in neuroplasticity that follow neurocognitive and neurostimulation-based interventions in both healthy individuals and those with brain injuries.

The Neurostimulation laboratory is currently pursuing multiple studies using various neurostimulation techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and high-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS).

The Shirley Ryan Abilitylab Motion Analysis Center (MAC) is conducting a research study to establish a normative database of the oxygen consumed by individuals who are normal that can be used to contrast the performance of patients with walking deficits.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of the hip power in 3D Gait Analysis to select a set of preoperative gait features that distinguished between good (i.e., no longer stiff) and poor (i.e., remaining stiff) postoperative outcomes after rectus transfer surgery in children with Cerebral Palsy.

To evaluate the Dwyer procedure we will assess the changes in foot pressure distribution and center of force (COF) trajectory of patients who had gait analysis done at the Motion Analysis Center.
