The 脽EhTA lab seeks to facilitate improved medical decision making within rehabilitation at the level of the individual, the group, and society. We like to 鈥榖eta test鈥� ideas from the social sciences like economics and behavioral science in the rehabilitation space. At the individual level, we use a combination of behavioral and economic approaches to support self-management and to increase participation in therapeutic interventions. At the societal level, we use tools of health technology assessment to inform policy decisions.

The is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge in the field of neural engineering and rehabilitation of those people with neural disability.

The goal of the  is to improve the long-term health and lives of athletes. By working collaboratively and embracing our core values and diverse perspectives, we strive to achieve excellence in non-traditional sports medicine research.

The Motion Analysis and Biomechanics Laboratory at 91黑料网 is dedicated to examining the biomechanics of human movement. Located in Cramer Hall 004B, the Motion Analysis lab measures 1,200 square feet, with a 12-camera motion analysis system, eight digital cameras for markerless motion capture, two inground and two portable force plates, a 16-channel wireless EMG system, a Biodex 3 isokinetic dynamometer, a dual-probe musculoskeletal ultrasound unit, several IMU systems, and a pressure treadmill and force sensing insoles. There are also multiple computer workstations with MATLAB, LabVIEW, SPSS, and Visual3D licenses for recording, processing, and analyzing movement data. Contact Dr. Kipp for more information

The Neuromuscular Control of Movement Lab studies how neural circuits in the brain and spinal cord contribute to impaired limb movement in people with stroke. We use this knowledge to develop novel strategies for improving movement in this population. Our emphasis is on locomotor-like movements of the lower limbs.

seeks to understand pain modulation across the lifespan to optimize nonpharmacological pain management techniques in human participants.  They use quantitative sensory testing techniques to understand the pain response in different populations.  Their work has provided insight into the importance of exercise as a first-line treatment for pain management.

The fundamental hypothesis guiding the work  in the is that respiratory afferents induce spinal plasticity and facilitate remodeling within the respiratory neural network. Our laboratory uses a multi-disciplinary approach including behavioral studies, neurophysiological preparations, and molecular techniques to investigate the functional significance and therapeutic potential of respiratory afferent activation, with the ultimate goal of identifying novel rehabilitative strategies to improve cardiorespiratory control following cervical spinal cord injury.

Dr. Iuzzini-Seigel is the PI of the Communication, Movement and Learning Lab. This lab's primary research is focused on developing innovative assessment and intervention protocols to improve outcomes for children with communication impairments and their families.  They take a "care of the whole child" approach, investigating speech, language, fine and gross motor skills, fitness and social-emotional health in children with communication impairments, with a specific focus on children with childhood apraxia of speech and dysarthria. Research is funded by the NIH and the Once Upon a Time Foundation.

Dr. Sam Neminach is the director of the which studies the neural control of movement in children with and without physical and developmental disabilities to enhance health and well-being throughout life.  Studies in the lab combine movement behavior, learning, neurophysiology, and neuromodulation techniques to understand fundamental mechanisms of how the brain controls movement, particularly of the hand and arm, in human. This information can inform current or develop novel neurorehabilitation interventions for children with delayed motor development or movement impairments due to neurological injury. The lab also embraces a 鈥渞esearch in the wild鈥� approach by taking our research outside of the laboratory and in to schools and other community settings to enhance the generalizability.  Research in the PMNL is funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Northwestern Mutual Data Science Institute.
