A lightweight powered prosthesis with a safe, intuitive control system.

We will develop a commercially viable VR rehabilitation system (called the Coapt PLP Management System) which can be deployed at home or in-clinic for individuals with upper or lower limb amputations.

We will conduct a first-in-human clinical trial to evaluate the effect of incorporating intramuscular EMG signals (obtained using a fully wireless implantable system), compared to surface EMG signals, on function ambulation and non-weight-bearing control of a powered leg prosthesis.

This project combines two treatments for advancement in peripheral nerve injury to regenerate damaged tissues with Botox and eSTIM.

Every year, over 200,000 Americans sustain a peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Although peripheral nerves have the ability to spontaneously regenerate, 90% of PNI patients do not regain full motor function. Despite ongoing research, the main treatment for peripheral nerve injury¡ªsurgery¡ª continues to be performed without the assistance of any medication or other therapies to enhance the rate of axon regrowth.

We aim to create new technology and techniques for studying physical and neurological trauma, using sensors, heaters, LED and arrays.

This research project collaborates with a NU lab to study the acquired injuries that are taking place in hospital care of people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ARDS.

Rehabilitation Research & Training Center on Employment for People with Physical Disabilities collaborated with Shirley Ryan Abilitylab medical staff to invite national expert Lou Orslene, Director for the Employer and Workplace Policy Team at the Office of Disability Employment Policy, U.S. Department of Labor, to present a webinar entitled Enabling Work Accommodations as an Essential Element of the Return-to-Work Process.

This presentation provides strategies to support the mental and physical health of your workforce as businesses continue their transition into a ¡®new normal¡¯.
