Normative Database of Oxygen Consumption
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.
Research Project
Stiff Knee Gait and Rectus Transfer
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.
Research Project
Foot Pressure and Force Trajectory Changes Resulting from the Dwyer Procedure
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.
Research Project
Efficacy of the Calcaneal-Cuboid-Cuneiform Osteotomy Procedure
The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the 3C procedure by using foot pressure distribution parameters to compare changes in pre- and post-operative COF trajectory and PP in the surgical region.
Research Project
Error augmentation in 2 and 3 dimesions
Rather than helping someone move, we rely on the aspects of neuroplasticity in the brain to facilitate learning to move, or re-learning after an injury.
Research Project
A comparison of two surgical procedures that restore elbow extension
We want to understand what factors predictably separate the surgical outcomes of different tendon transfers that restore function after spinal cord injury.
Research Project
How do wrist surgical salvage procedures limit hand strength?
Our project hypothesizes that surgical re-design of the wrist in proximal row carpectomy and scaphoid-excision four-corner fusion limits hand strength post-op.
Research Project
Prosthesis control by forward dynamic simulation of the intact biomedical system
Our project aims to deliver a real-time simulator of complex, multi-degree hand motions, and link it to hardware to control multi-function artificial hands.
Research Project
Stability and mobility in subjects with Parkinson’s disease while using a Segway
The objective of this study is to investigate balance, stability, and mobility while using a Segway device.
Research Project
Efficacy of a Telehealth Pain Self-Management Intervention in Employed Adults with Physical Disability: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The project?addresses the needs of employed individuals with physical disabilities who are at risk of under or unemployment due to chronic pain.
Research Project
Promoting Job Retention for Persons with a Physical Disability: Employer, Client, Job, and Environment-Related Barriers and Facilitators
Project of the Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers (RRTC) grant sponsored by NIDILRR: Promoting Job Retention for Persons with a Physical Disability.
