Not Finding What You're Looking For?
Forearm ExoNET
Can you build a soft, exo-robot as a wearable orthosis to provide assistance during both rehabilitation and activities of daily living? Can this same device also be used as a therapeutic device by tuning to anti-assistance mode, providing more meaningful therapy to the user?

Eglove
Body Computer Interface (BCI) is the idea that one can control a robot simply by thinking about it. In this study, we are laying the groundwork for further BCI and robotic development for individuals to control a hand opening device called the Electro encephalographic mediated glove (or Eglove) using an EEG cap connected to a motorized glove.

Developing probability distribution models from upper extremity free exploration trials to evaluate motor deficits in stroke patients
Stroke survivors vary greatly in their motor deficits and rehabilitative needs. Here, we gather unstructured upper limb movement data and seek to understand if there are patterns in their kinetics that reflect the underlying neuromuscular alterations. In doing so, we can improve our abilities to evaluate patients and design personalized rehab therapy.

Visual Feedback of Kinematic Chain in a Redundant Novel Task
This study utilizes a wearable data glove system that translates hand movements into signals that control a cursor on a screen. We examined how participants learn a redundant novel task, which can be completed through various solutions.

Multimodal Haptic Feedback for Plantar Sensory Substitution
The purpose of this study is to test the use of a system that can read the pressure pattern on the foot and “map” that pattern to another part of the body (i.e., legs, arms, or back).

A Guide to Rock Climbing After a Long Break
Rock climbing is a rigorous sport that is very demanding on the whole body. From the fingertips to the toes, large forces are constantly being placed on small structures, which can create a potential for injury.

Locomotor Function Following Transcutaneous Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation in Individuals with Hemiplegic Stroke
Despite advances in stroke rehabilitation, more than two-thirds of the 7 million stroke survivors in the U.S. still struggle to walk independently in their communities. Most current therapies focus on stimulating the brain areas that control leg movement, yet many stroke survivors continue to face issues like poor coordination, spasticity, and muscle weakness. We propose a different approach—using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord to improve walking after stroke.

Sensor Technology Applied in Rehabilitation for Stroke (STARS)
The goal of the STARS project is to develop machine-learning algorithms that quantify impairments and function that impact gait and balance, using datasets obtained from advanced wearable sensors in individuals with stroke.

TrayBall: Using LookingGlass
This system is a very straightforward use of the looking glass display system combined with a tracking device called the Leap? tracking device. It tells the computer where your hands are, and then we ask the patient to do a bimanual task to move a virtual tray to different locations in space without letting a ball roll off.
