Our researchers are dedicated to understanding changes in neural pathways that occur as a result of injury and functional recovery to maximize outcomes of neurorehabilitation.
Research studies are looking for volunteers just like you. Both healthy volunteers and participants with specific health conditions are needed to help answer important questions impacting the health of our community adults. Join us to improve the health of others.
Ongoing Studies Recruiting Heading link
-
Brain imaging and stimulation after stroke
Individuals 25-90 years of age (with and without history of stroke) are needed for this study. Participation will involve stimulation and magnetic resonance imaging of your brain while you perform tasks with your legs. The study will help determine the contribution of the brain to movements of the legs. Compensation will be provided.
-
Walking training after stroke
Individuals >21 years of age who have had a stroke are needed for this study. Participants will perform 12 weeks of high-intensity treadmill training, non-invasive brain stimulation, and ankle movement to determine whether these interventions can improve walking. Compensation will be provided.
-
Walking training in people with multiple sclerosis (MS)
Individuals >21 years of age who have multiple sclerosis are needed for this study. Participation in the study will take approximately 6 weeks and will determine the effect of treadmill training on feelings of fatigue, walking, and brain function. Compensation will be provided.
