Spinal Cord Research Center Field of Interest - Rehabilitation & Robotic Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is explored in both rats and mice models using automated bicycles (Dr. Houle and colleagues), compliant robot rehabilitation at ankle and pelvis (Dr. Giszter and colleagues), and compliant robot rehabilitation using pelvic orthoses (Dr. Giszter and colleagues). In addition, reaching and treadmill locomotion rehabilitation and ladder and other rehabilitation tests are used across the group.
