The ultimate goal of this project is to restore hand and arm function to people with paralysis from neurological disorders. Brain machine interfaces - BMIs, which decode electrical signals recorded from the brain, offer one way to bypass the area causing paralysis and intuitively reanimate paralyzed muscles via electrical stimulation.

BMIs have been able to restore basic communication by allowing patients to slowly spell out individual letters by decoding particular signals, most commonly evoked potentials in response to some stimulus.

The Slutzky Neuroprosthetics Lab Team is evaluating a new rehab therapy using wearable devices and a video game interface to improve arm movement after stroke.

On Oct. 29th, 2019, Shirley Ryan ÍâÍøÌìÌÃ's Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research (CROR) invited job seekers with disabilities and employers to attend an all-day, interactive workshop on job accommodations.

This study consists of a randomized control trial (RCT) and a qualitative study.

This study will use closed-loop control of tendon vibration to implement clinically meaningful management of muscle spasms, and to understand how spinal circuits responsible for spasm generation change in response to vibration

Participate in a novel research study at the Shirley Ryan Abilitylab to improve the function of your muscles after a spinal cord injury.

This project will test whether robotic balance training paired with transcutaneous spinal stimulation will be effective in improving dynamic balance and locomotor function in humans with SCI.

This study aims to recognize, identify, and evaluate the trajectory recovery and abilities of a person who has had a stroke and living with cognitive-communication challenges and their respective quality of life.
