NeuroMyo Engineering for Rehabilitation Laboratory

In the NeuroMyo Engineering for Rehabilitation Lab, investigators are developing and promoting assistive training and rehabilitation devices toward function restoration for patients with spinal cord injury, stroke and other neurological injuries. To understand the neural mechanisms contributing to impairment of human voluntary motion, they record electrical activity from single motor units as well as from whole muscle in neurological injury patients. They are also investigating the effects of different clinical interventions to aid in the design of rehabilitation strategies targeting specific motor unit properties.
