COMPLETE: Implementing a Robotic Hip Assist-based Mobility Intervention for Older Adults with Frailty
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using a Samsung robotic hip assist-based mobility intervention for older adults with frailty. The study outcomes include changes to gait function, with secondary measures of health, quality of life and community mobility.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Locomotor function following transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation in individuals with hemiplegic stroke
This study aims to determine whether transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation combined with ambulation training improves: 1. Locomotion function 2. Gait symmetry and efficiency 3. Standing posture and balance in individuals with hemiplegic stroke.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Genetic Variation, Stress, and Functional Outcomes after Stroke Rehabilitation
This study aims to identify genetic factors/susceptibilities associated with the course of treatment induced behavioral outcomes, motor arm recovery, quantify stress and activities of daily living during the recovery phase after stroke.
Research Project
Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems Equity and Quality in Assistive Technology (EQuATe) 2.0 Module
The SCI Model Systems Equity and Quality in Assistive Technology (EQuATe) 2.0 Module takes a look at assistive tech used by individuals with spinal cord injury.
Research Project
Motivational Interviewing and Physical Activity in Parkinson’s Disease
This project will test the efficacy of a motivational interviewing intervention and web application to improve physical activity in Parkinson's Disease.
Research Project
Clinical Adaptation of the Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Psychosocial Measures
The Clinical Adaptation of the Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Psychosocial Measures study aims to validate the items of the SCI-QOL assessment
Research Project
RRTC: Knowledge Translation Projects
Our RRTC Knowledge Translation (KT) projects cover many topics with the goal of increasing support for employment for individuals in vocational rehabilitation.
Research Project
Tracking spasticity in acute stroke
The proposed experiments use well-defined protocols with minimal risk from chronic stroke survivor research to test the monosynaptic reflex and TVR responses. We also gather clinical data in the acute and chronic stroke survivors.
Research Project
Evaluating the Use of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia to Improve Symptoms in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis
This pilot study (akin to our SCI pilot) evaluates if AIH will augment motor function in the lower limbs of PwMS.
Research Project
HANDS: A Multi-Center Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Intermittent Hypoxia Therapy in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
This study investigates the effectiveness of daily acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (dAIH), coupled with a massed practice intervention or the use of high repetition training with the Rapael Glove, to improve upper-extremity function in individuals with chronic incomplete cervical SCI.
Research Project
Characterization of serum biomarkers in individuals with SCI receiving Acute Intermittent Hypoxia
We seek to quantify the serum inflammatory markers in individuals with SCI, and correlate inflammation with responsiveness to AIH therapy.
Research Project
The effect of botox on the hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex in spasticity
The objective of this study is to measure the electrical activity of single muscle fibers and to determine how this electrical activity changes after botulinum toxin injections.
