Research Centers and Laboratories
Research Centers and Laboratories
Virtual Rehabilitation Lab
Research field | The Lab research focus is on ‘Virtual Rehabilitation and motor learning’. Short-term research interest is on understanding the neuromuscular organization and control characteristics underlying bilateral coordination, and bio-feedback of the upper and lower limbs after stroke. A long-term goal is development of rehabilitation strategies for the functional improvement of adults with neurological deficits due to stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, and children with cerebral palsy.
