Biomechanics and Motion Analysis
Studies are performed in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Motion Analysis Laboratory which is equipped with a customized instrumented treadmill, a walkway with staggered force plates and a state-of-the-art motion analysis system.

We have developed an innovative research program that links meaningful translational research to the promoting of peak performance and health. We are narrowing the gap between evidence-based medicine and clinical practice while furthering research into health care issues including injury and disease prevention, and exercise intervention. 

Neurorehabilitation
Various stroke interventions are being investigated, along with studies
on hemispatial neglect, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and
community reintegration training through the use of virtual reality.
Collaboration with the Medical School's Department of Neurosciences has
allowed for the development of a rat model for stroke and spinal cord injury
rehabilitation research.

Spinal Cord Injury
Research is being done on early warning signs to detect the onset of potentially catastrophic illness in people with disabilities.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture as an alternative method of pain management is being studied, with the goal of decreasing pain levels to the point where the individual can participate in a  physical therapy or exercise program.

Electrodiagnosis
Research using electromyography, nerve conduction studies and evoked potentials.
