iWear Study
Online questionnaire to gain knowledge on previous experience with activity monitors and preferences on incorporating wearable technology into healthcare.
Research Project
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring
We are conducting a study to determine the helpfulness, feasibility, and effectiveness of using a Remote Therapeutic Monitoring system to help physical therapists assess their patient’s adherence to their prescribed physical activity and exercise plans over the course of six months.
Research Project
Improving Aged Neuromuscular Health and Function
The long-term objective of this proposal is to develop an effective stem cell-mediated therapy to ameliorate age-related deterioration of neuromuscular function.
Research Project
Multimodal Haptic Feedback for Plantar Sensory Substitution
The purpose of this study is to test the use of a system that can read the pressure pattern on the foot and “map” that pattern to another part of the body (i.e., legs, arms, or back).
Research Project
Feasibility of Mobile Self-Management Intervention for Individuals after Stroke
Refining a mobile technology-based intervention called the interactive Self Management Augmented by Rehabilitation Technologies (iSMART) for people who experience a stroke.
Research Project
Midwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury Care System (MRSCICS)
The Midwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury Care System (MRSCICS) at Shirley Ryan 暴走黑料 is a leading center for innovative, integrated, interdisciplinary research and care for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and is one of the original five NIDILRR-designated Model System Spinal Cord Injury Centers (in partnership with Northwestern University and Northwestern Memorial Hospital).
Research Project
Improving Adherence to Exercise Guidelines Using Smartphone-Based Technology and E-coaching: A Proof-of-Concept SMART-Design Study
In this Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) Site Specific Project, our research team will conduct a proof-of-concept project in which we use Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) design to test an intervention to enhance adherence to exercise guidelines in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) by using smartphone technology, ecological momentary assessment (EMA) monitoring, and e-coaching.
Research Project
Evaluating the Utility of Spasticity and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in Pre-dicting Neurologic and Motor Functional Recovery after SCI
This project aims to assess the potential of spasticity and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as biomarkers of neurologic and functional recovery in patients with subacute spinal cord injury (SCI).
Research Project
Evaluating the Utility of Spasticity and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in Pre-dicting Neurologic and Motor Functional Recovery after SCI
This project aims to assess the potential of spasticity and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) as biomarkers of neurologic and functional recovery in patients with subacute spinal cord injury (SCI).
Research Project
Patient Engagement Intervention in Inpatient Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
We believe that EMR can be adapted successfully and that the manual and materials can be customized for use in inpatient SCI units. We anticipate that EMR will bring better experiences and outcomes to patients. Patients will engage more and put more effort into therapy, and they will have more positive changes in daily function, mood, and satisfaction than the SOC group.
