COMPLETE: Technologies to Evaluate and Advance Manipulation and Mobility
TEAMM is an engineering center focused on helping improve the mobility and upper-limb function of people with disabilities.
Research Project
Defining trajectories of linguistic, cognitive-communicative and quality of life outcomes in aphasia
Using certain characteristics as predictors, This study describes trajectories of linguistic, cognitive-communicative, and health-related QoL outcomes.
Research Project
Muscle Impairment in Children with Cerebral Palsy: a Role for Muscle Stem Cell Dysfunction and Drug Repurposing
We investigate the role of specific muscle resident stem cells, called satellite cells, in the development of muscle contractures.
Research Project
Implementation of Evidenced Based-Interventions during Inpatient Rehabilitation to Improve Mobility, Health and Participation
Most patients with stroke or ABI can recover some gait function (80-95%), but only 25% of those with SCI (50% motor incomplete) walk independently.
Research Project
Pairing Rehabilitation Interventions to Maximize Efficiency and Recovery (PRIMER)
The goal of this project is to evaluate the paired contributions of intensity and variability of stepping training on lower extremity function post-stroke.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Impact of Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis on Community Mobility and Social Interaction
The purpose of this study is to understand the gait biomechanics and clinical performance of a powered prosthesis during everyday community ambulation and social interactions.
Research Project
Evaluation of a Lightweight Powered Leg
The goal of this project is to develop a lightweight motorized leg and to evaluate this device in elderly persons with above-knee amputations.
Research Project
COMPLETE: Novel Body-Powered Prosthetic Hand
This project's goal was to evaluate the clinical utility of a prosthetic hand by objectively quantifying whether people choose both modes while in their home.
Research Project
Effect of acute intermittent hypoxia on upper limb function in individuals with spinal cord injury
This study will help create a framework for the development of practical techniques to harness beneficial neuroplasticity in individuals with SCI.
