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.
Â鶹APP 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.
Â鶹APP Project
Intraoperative Sarcomere Length Measurements
We have found that spastic muscle, although having a normal stretch reflex, has a significantly higher intrinsic muscle stiffness compared to control muscle.
Â鶹APP Project
Motor Impairment Related Changes in Muscles Properties in Chronic Stroke
Interested in understanding if the chronic neural impairments & disuse of the upper limb associated with hemiparetic stroke lead to changes in muscle structure
Â鶹APP Project
Altering Activation Patterns in the Distal Upper Extremity After Stroke
This study evaluates a rehab approach for stroke survivors where the combination of drug therapy & AMP is used to encourage voluntary muscle control & strength.
Â鶹APP Project
COMPLETE: Manual Standing Wheelchair
Â鶹APPers at the Â鶹APP have designed the first-ever manual standing wheelchair that allows users to be mobile in both sitting and standing modes.
Â鶹APP Project
Application of Targeted Reinnervation for People With Transradial Amputation
We will quantify the effect of TMR on persons with below-elbow (transradial) amputation.
Â鶹APP Project
Intramuscular EMG Signal Processing
Our objective?is to develop new implanted EMG systems to expand the algorithms used to extract information, improve performance and make configuration easier.?
Â鶹APP Project
Improving Control of Robotic Hand Prostheses
This project uses a computer algorithm that can learn patterns and determine what movement the user intends to make. The user can thus control the prosthesis.
Â鶹APP Project
Advanced Control Systems for Powered Prosthetic Legs
Robotic powered prostheses have a number of built-in mechanical sensors that can gather information about the position, angle, and force exerted by the prosthetic joints.
