The BO2ST Trial
Walking recovery is a key goal after spinal cord injury (SCI). While some patients experience spontaneous recovery due to preserved neural circuits, many struggle to achieve independent ambulation, and those who do often face persistent deficits. There is growing consensus that a single approach is insufficient to overcome these challenges, prompting the need for combined interventions.

Haptic Feedback for Plantar Sensory Substitution
Plantar sensation is crucial for gait, balance, and posture, and its loss contributes to movement disorders in conditions like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, stroke, and spinal cord injury. Current diagnostic methods use pressure sensor arrays to assess gait deficiencies, with wireless insole technology extending data collection beyond clinical settings. Building on these advances, we are investigating sensory substitution as a potential solution to restore lost plantar sensation and improve outcomes for affected individuals.

Automate, Illuminate, Predict: A Universal Framework for Integrating Wearable Sensors in Healthcare
Wearable sensors have been heralded as revolutionary tools for healthcare. However, while data are easily acquired from sensors, users still grapple with questions about how sensors can meaningfully inform everyday clinical practice and research. We propose a simple, comprehensive framework for utilizing sensor data in healthcare. The framework includes three key processes that are applied together or separately to (1) automate traditional clinical measures, (2) illuminate novel correlates of disease and impairment, and (3) predict current and future outcomes. We demonstrate applications of the Automate-Illuminate-Predict framework using examples from rehabilitation medicine. Automate-Illuminate-Predict provides a universal approach to extract clinically meaningful data from wearable sensors. This framework can be applied across the care continuum to enhance patient care and inform personalized medicine through accessible, noninvasive technology.
