Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Mobility Lab
Lead Researcher - Kristin Musselman
Research Overview
The SCI Mobility Lab aims to increase rehabilitation research and clinical capacity through innovations in assessment and care delivery. Our research objectives include:
- Evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of novel approaches to balance training and fall prevention for individuals with spinal cord injury/disease
- Developing interventions that optimize sensorimotor function in children with hemiplegia
- Developing tools that measure participation and outcomes of therapies targeting the neuromuscular system affected by sensorimotor loss.
