Our People

Here at the Neuromotor Recovery and Rehabilitation Laboratory, our people make all the difference. You're not a number, you're not a patient, you're a person who we deeply care about.
Ongoing Research Studies

Research Studies

Our studies, published in major medical journals, show that patients many years post stroke and spinal cord injury can regain meaningful motor skills such as walking, feeding themselves, and writing.

  • Provide the patient with our contact information. They can then contact us directly.
  • Obtain permission from the patient to give us with his/her contact information for the purposes of a study. Once you have his/her permission, contact us, and provide us with the patient's contact information. We will gladly follow-up directly with the patient.

New study and funding opportunities often happen quickly. Therefore, if you have questions about any of our studies, you can contact us for more information.
